Prior to real estate, I was a recording engineer in New York and Hollywood. But I didn’t stay there because it’s a pretty tough business to have a family. So I started selling real estate in 1991, until I got into land development and construction where I owned a couple of home-building companies and did some commercial work. Then in 2013 my wife and I chose to get back into real estate sales, and we haven’t looked back since.
I came to REDX through The Mike Ferry Organization. I had been using other lead generation services, but after having a few issues with them I thought, “You know what? If Mike endorses REDX, I’m gonna give it a shot.” It was a pretty cool transition, and I wish we’d made it sooner because they integrate the leads and the dialer in the same place, which made it a lot easier for me to use.
I don’t have to use any other systems because Vortex is free and does it all. If I want to call Expireds, FSBOs, Just Listed/Just Sold, preforeclosures, or absentee owners, all I gotta do is shift to a different folder, keep the dialer on, and just dial. It’s awesome. The productivity is much, much faster. I can get more contacts per hour doing it that way. And it automatically cross checks the leads against active listings and updates all the data.
REDX makes my morning a lot more effective because I don’t have to worry about getting my numbers ready. I just open it up and, boom, the numbers are there. It saved me so much time and headaches in the morning. Other than calling my center of influence, I don’t really have to prepare, everything’s ready for me in the morning.
