New Marketing Tool Aims to Give Investors Consistent Access to Coveted Off-Market Real Estate Deals
Boston, Mass (PRWEB) March 04, 2014 -- Off-Market Formula (http://offmarketformula.com), a new real estate marketing tool, gives serious investors a step-by-step, actionable program to consistently get the off-market real estate deals they want, for any asset class, in any geographic location, directly from sellers without middlemen.
Off-market deals are not a new concept in the real estate investment world. For decades, large institutional brokerage firms have quietly offered a very select list of buyers access to deals before they hit the open market.
“Every investor wants off-market deals, but doesn’t really know how to get them, at least not consistently. The idea for the Off-Market Formula was born out of nearly a decade in the brokerage industry,” said Zeb Couch, a former commercial real estate broker and director of Business Development for Off-Market Media.
“As a commercial real estate broker, I was having around 500 conversations a week with sellers who really weren’t thrilled to pay me a commission for selling their building and with savvy buyers who weren’t interested in anything listed on the open market,” Couch said.
“Off-market real estate deals have a certain cachet because they’re exclusive, private and tend to offer higher returns than on-market deals, they're just really hard to find, until now,” said Robert Krauss, a 30-year veteran real estate investor who was part of the Off-Market Formula test group.
“Institutional brokerage lists are extremely difficult to get on. You need to have extremely deep pockets and transact often. The Off-Market Formula gives any investor, new or seasoned, the same level of access to exclusive off-market real estate deals at a ‘mouse hair of the cost’,” Couch added.
According to Couch, “Investors get access to the complete Off-Market Formula for a simple, one-time fee. The whole purpose of off-market deals, in our opinion, is to bypass the middleman, so we have no interest in collecting traditional brokerage fees from anyone who transacts using the Off-Market Formula.”
The Off-Market Formula also offers a free video knowledge series (http://offmarketformula.com/free-knowledge) offering "informative insight into deal-hunting I've never thought of before," added Krauss.
One question remains as to how this new tool will upset the brokerage community by stealing away clients from brokers who make a living as middlemen between buyers and sellers.
“The truth is, smart brokers won’t deal-hunt for buyers because it’s too risky. Working for a buyer, brokers never know if they will actually transact and their commission is always in jeopardy,” Couch said.
With this in mind, the Off-Market Formula has also launched a broker affiliate program that pays brokers cash for buyer leads who purchase access to the Off-Market Formula.
“We wanted to develop a solution where all could benefit where investors could get their off-market deals and brokers could still make money from their buyer leads with absolutely no risk,” Couch concluded.
