Generate your own leads, it will take you about 3 months to start generating the type leads that you are seeking but if you decided to work a ceretain area of the city in which you live and also close to the place where your home is located, you will generate leads directly as well as referrals. Work this are very diligently, become an expert in the area, become a friend of the home owners in the area.
Select about 5000 homes in one tract, send them a flyer introducing yourself as the new loan officer for that area. Send the flyers for about 3 months, 4 if you like. You may walk the area and place the flyers on the doors of each home, hire some kids from the neighborhood to do this while your supervise, get your kids to do this and help dad, of course reward them with a meal and some change.
The flyers should give a little bio or yourself, the services you offer, refinace, first time home buyers,one or two popular loan programs you have available. Place on the flyer that you will give a referral fee of at least $250.00 per referral or what ever amout you want to give a referral fee.
You should also work the commercial shops in the same area placing the same flyers in liquor stores, barber shops and any other place that will allow you to place your flyer. You can purchase the stands for the flyers from Staples or Office Depot.
After placing the flyers for 3-4 months in your 2nd or 3rd month you should be getting calls to your office. You should start a monthly newsletter to the same people. Your title company can provide a farm package with the names of the home owners. Your team members can write article for your newsletter explaining there services.
Since you have made friends with the commercial shops that allow you to place your flyers in their shops, you can offer them ad space in your newsletter to help with the cost of the newsletter.
The $1000. 00 you would use to pay for these leads that are sold to others as well as yourself could go toward your newsletter. This would be a part of your advertising/marketing budget.
You should also establish a team of experts to work and help you in your job, a real estate appraisal, a notary, a real estate agent, an insurance agent that sell home owner's policies,your title rep, a CPA, an attorney and tax preparer. Make friends with all these people give them about 10-20 of your business cards, tell them you will pass out their card when you run across someone that need their service if they will pass out your cards when they run across someone that need your services. Give them some of your cards. This will get you referrals. You should make contact with your team at least once a week by telephone or in person.
This is very hard work, but will pay off in the long run and you will never have to pay for a lead that is sold to at least 4-5 people including yourself. Your leads will call and ask for you directly. In about a year you should be well on your way to getting loans as well as referrals from your area.
I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.
