This may be old hat to some of you who have spent a fair amount of time on the internet but I thought I`d pass on my research.
I`ve spent a fair amount of time looking for greater vancouver realtors who work with investors and or deal with foreclosures etc.
Initially I got excited when I came across several realtors with web pages offering to send me weekly lists of foreclosures, estate sales etc.
I communicated with several of them and like someone else who reported here found that they didn`t follow through.
In one case I had an appointment which they didn`t keep and in another I just simply didn`t hear back from them when they realized I really did want the list they had promised and wasn`t just looking to buy a home.
When I really explored I began to see a large number of realtor sites with very similar pages who were obviously subscribing to a service that they could personalize.
The hook? We can get you discounted properties, all you have to do is give me your name, e-mail etc.
I guess I`m a bit slow but finally it all became clear. This is the flavour of the month for building a buyers list.
So I would recommend you don`t spend a lot of time chasing these folks. I`ve decided to nuture the relationships I already have with realtors I know who may not have done any of this before but who have experience and an open mind.
Hope this helps some of you. gk
