Who will be the biggest winners in the real estate market this year?
These five factors will be among the most significant differentiators between the winners and leaders versus the rest in real estate for this year and beyond…
Follow Up
This is still the number one make or break factor for real estate professionals. Fortunately, it is still probably the easiest way to get the edge. The vast majority of Realtors, wholesalers, builders and sellers seem to be doing terrible at this. In fact, their follow up is mostly non-existent. Most deals are lost and leads burned because of a simple lack of follow up. Just one more email, text or call could have converted those leads. Those buyers and sellers are all going to buy or sell. Just normally with the professional who keeps following up after the others drop the ball. Make sure that’s you.
Staying Healthy
You don’t need six pack abs or the best squat game in town to win in real estate, but if you’re out sick you aren’t making money. If your supply line dries up, your users are going to the next wholesaler in line to fill their deal flow needs. It will be far harder and more expensive to win them back. So, take time to stay healthy and avoid burnout.
Anticipating & Overcoming Objections in Advance
Most sellers, agents and buyers won’t take the time to layout all their real objections. They’ll just pawn off the easiest excuse on you. The most successful are those who invest the time to foresee and overcome objections in advance. It’s basic sales 101. What questions or concerns could hold sellers and buyers back from taking your offers? What can you do to champion that ahead of time?
Marketing
Fear will cause some to pull back on their marketing this year. That will be another nail in their coffins. Others are doubling up on their content marketing. Make sure you are consistent, are looking for voids to fill, and are focusing on quality marketing that makes you stand out. That may be online, in mailboxes, through networking, or sheer hustle and asking for the business. Most important as the market changes will be the ability to create product and demand.
Eye on the Big and Long Game
The focus should probably no longer be on what you earn this year. That should be the result of the seeds you planted last year. Most of what you are doing this year should be setting up your success and revenue for the next 2+ years. This mindset helps avoid dangerous short term thinking while ensuring long term survival and growing profit margins.

I'll know exactly where to call for the funding we'll need for our next project."
- Dave Pricken, Real Estate Investor, NJ
"Thank you so much! I just had a talk with our Realtor on both properties and told him amazing things about your company!... Normally I rehab the houses and re resells them. I just don't have the patience for that work anymore. This [transactional funding] is such a better way for me and less stress."

"We want to thank you for the exceptional customer service you provided. No one comes close. We had contacted a competitor the same time we contacted your company. Your company responded with in a few minutes while the competitor has yet to respond weeks later even after multiple phone calls and emails. Thanks again for the unmatched customer service."
"We had looked into several transaction lenders for a couple properties we were trying to flip. Your company was the most responsive and had the best pricing. Even though we had logistics issues with the B/C lender, your company acted very professionally and handled our requests beyond our expectations."
"Thank you for your commitment to an excellent customer experience."

"I was studying on how transactional funding works and you guys had the best and most thorough explanations posted so I could fully understand the details in back to back closing. I'd already started setting everything up but your video confirmed that I'm on the right track."
- La'Donna Turnipseed-Scott, Investor, LA
"....a few months back, I happened upon a video, on your site, regarding the use of transactional funding with Hud properties; and I found myself replaying the video over and over because of the value that I saw in the message...it actually explained the process, step-by-step on how to submit a Hud deal by using transactional funding. Once I completed the video, my initial response was to take immediate action by duplicating what I had learned from the video into real time. So I did some research on properties in a market where I knew I had buyers; and put together a hud deal. I then located a realtor able and willing to submit my bid online and within a couple of days, to my surprise, received a call telling me that I had won – my very 1st Hud bid."
"To you I say, ”KUDOS to Best Transactional Funding and Thank you for providing the education and services to Real Estate Entrepreneurs like me. Please keep up the good work!'"
- T. A. Davis, Investor, NJ
"You each deserve high marks for your wonderfully quick response time to each of our questions and requests! You hit home runs with us! Your application system was easy to use. Our deal met your qualifications and every time Rob Kozak or any member of Mystic Properties, LLC phoned, we received a "real" person dialing back to speak with us.
Your patience and persistence were exceptional in dealing with our business interests. Thank you for such great customer service! We look forward to working with your staff, again, in the future. We like referring people to you, as us, our team would have missed-out on an excellent earning opportunity.
Your help negotiating with our title company made our back-to-back deal, finally happen. People noticed on settlement day how effectively and efficiently your part of the transaction was organized and executed. Again, thank you for truthfully being the "BEST" at what you do!"
