Foreclosure Cleaning Jobs - 3 Things You Must Know When Working With a Foreclosure Realtor
Posted by: real estate / Category: ForeclosuresMost foreclosure clean up companies dream of getting a call from a realtor who handles foreclosures. This is because these professionals handle many listings, which usually means ongoing work. But, if you’re not prepared, getting the call can be a curse rather than a blessing.
Follow the advice below to be well prepared when the call does come.
3 Things to Keep in Mind When Working With Realtors Who Handle Foreclosures.
1. Move Quickly: When realtors who handle foreclosures call, they expect quick action. This is because someone at the bank/lender is usually hounding them to get properties back in market shape quick.
Foreclosure Clean Up - In Bulk!
When you work with foreclosure realtors, remember, take the long-term view. If you are able to complete a job- and the results are satisfactory - many of these realtors will award you contracts on other properties that they have. Remember, it’s all about ease for them. If you do what they ask, it’s easy for them to pick up the phone and give you a call when they get another property. You in essence become part of their team.
So when a foreclosure realtor calls, jump through hoops to meet their deadlines - for it can mean ongoing work.
2. Price w/Bulk in Mind: There are many ways to price a foreclosure clean up job - by the square foot, by the job, by the hour, etc. However you price your jobs, always price with bulk in mind when dealing with foreclosure realtors.
Now, this doesn’t mean short yourself or work with margins so thin that you can’t afford to hire help. Remember though that foreclosure realtors are usually working within a defined budget - a budget that’s either set by the bank, or some government program guidelines.
Sometimes the realtor will clue you in as to what this is, sometimes not. Feel free to ask though, letting the realtor know that you realize he/she has many properties and you’re willing to “give them a special deal” so that they can get the work done on time - and within budget.
3. Stick to Your Word: The construction industry (of which foreclosure cleaning falls in) has a horrible reputation. Contractors don’t show up when they say they will; jobs don’t get completed on time; oftentimes the work is shoddy and so on and so on.
If you just do what you say you’ll do - when you say you’re going to do it - you’ll win many foreclosure cleaning jobs. So keep your word - for it can lead to thousands of dollars in foreclosure cleaning contracts.
