Today, we will say something in this articles that can make a big difference in your business.
However, you might have used it so many times in your daily life.
We are talking about ads, campaign, direct mail etc.

We suggest you an exercise first.

Pick up the newspaper and have a look at the section where your and other’s classified ads are put.

If your ads have a similarity with other’s, that means you are going to create huge opportunities.

Now it’s time to make a difference. If there are no or less testimonials, you must get an ad published with a testimonial.

Testimonials are powerful thing. They leave a very good impression on everyone.

You can incorporate this strategy in direct mail and other things.

A good testimonial will say these things.

“john helped us so much in avoiding foreclosure and we saved our credit that allowed us to move on our lives. Besides a professional help, he gave us comfort and peace of mind, care. I feel overwhelmed when I talk about his company.”

It is very important that your testimonial conveys right things that is trust, results and genuineness. Business is all about trust.
If you keep these points in mind, your ad is surely going to dominate the ad space.

It is to be noted that we can apply the power of testimonials to other things also.
Letters, direct mails and flyers can be made more catchy and impressive when we write testimonials in that.

This occurs when someone buys a property in bad shape for a cheap price. Say $50,000. They make some cosmetic repairs spending say $1,000 and then sell it at an inflated price say $80,000 to a buyer who puts little or no money down.

The seller takes a mortgage back for a large amount, say $78,000, and gets a phony appraisal based on the inflated sales price.

You are then offered the mortgage at a discount at what looks like an attractive yield.

Soon afterwards the buyer stops making payments and moves out. Leaving you with a trashed house.

The key to this fraud is the inflated appraisal. Remember that appraising is an art not an exact science. Nonetheless an appraisal should be within 10% of the true value of the property.

This fraud can be hard to spot. Many legitimate investors DO buy properties for much less than their true value and are able to genuinely sell them for a higher price.

• The key is to check out the comparable properties on the appraisal form and satisfy yourself that they are truly comparable.
• Try to specify the appraiser and not use one provided by the investor.
• Check the credit rating of the new borrower. Especially if they have only put down a small down payment.
• Be wary of mortgages for sale that have not been aged, that is, a number of payments made on them.
