How Realtors are Losing Thousands of Dollars Every Year



By Daniel Sater, CCE, CFP
As a Realtor you work hard to find potential buyers.  Here are some of the statistics:
·         In 2012, the typical agent had 12 residential transaction sides.
·         Today, 1 of every 3 consumers has credit scores so low they won’t qualify for a mortgage.
·         According to NAR, for the third year in a row, the difficulty in obtaining mortgage financing was the most cited reason for potential clients being limited.
·         In a recent survey, the percentage of Realtors that follow up and referred their potential credit challenged clients for credit repair was 0%!!
·         Throughout the US, 3 of every 10 credit repair referrals came back to buy a home within 6 months.
The math is simple. All you need do is follow up with your potential buyers that don’t credit qualify for a mortgage and instead of dropping them,  give them hope and help them find a way fix their problems. Be pro-active and let them know you’re on their side. You most likely will get a second chance to sell them a new home and add $15,000 to $30,000 to your income by helping others.
