“Without proper data analytics, companies are blind and deaf, wandering out on the web like deer on a freeway.”  – Geoffrey Moore

 

There is one thing for sure, the use and access to immediate information has changed the way homeowners have approached selling their homes. The question is whether, as a Mortgage Broker or Realtor has your approach evolved as well?

 

There are plenty of companies out in the market that offer to give you lists of potential sellers, but these lists’ accuracy leaves much to be desired. You can feel a bit like a Gold Rush-era prospector sifting through the silt with a pan to try to find that one nugget of Gold. I wrote a bit about this in my previous blogpost; Sifting Through Online Leads to Discover the Gold! Your time is far too valuable to waste time hoping to find that speck of Gold. These lists’ cleanliness is a challenge that is not often addressed by companies selling “leads” when in actuality, it’s more like they are selling “lists.” Zoominfo wrote a spot on blog post, the 35+ Statistics About Dirty Data, that addresses the consequences of inaccurate data. 

 

In 2018 an article in Housingwire put the cost of a Zillow lead anywhere between $20 to $220 per lead. Industry expert Mike Delprete put the cost of leads at $55 per lead. If all you are getting is an unverified list of potential sellers, you may be better off throwing a coin in a fountain and making a wish. It’s not just the leads’ cost; in most lists, over 40% of the leads contain insufficient data. Inaccurate or fake phone numbers or email addresses, even phony names, result in most Realtors giving up out of frustration. 

 

For a simple example – if you spent $2,000 for 50 Zillow leads and 40% are bad that means you paid $800 of that money for leads that aren’t worth anything. Further to the point, if 2% convert (or 1 lead – which is about the industry average) that puts your cost per listing/buyer at $2,000. 

 

This situation has forced many Professionals to turn back to their sphere of influence and reach back to those they’ve done business with within the past. But how do you know whether your past customers are ready to sell? The process of manually narrowing down those lists can be time-consuming, and your time equals money. 

 

You can stop buying lists that go nowhere, produce no results, and leave you discouraged, feeling as if you’ve wasted your money. It brings to mind the spot-on quote by Author and HubSpot Marketing Scientist Dan Zarrella – “Marketing without data is like driving with your eyes closed.” I would add to this that analysis of this data is the equivalent of turning on the windshield wipers to clear the view even further and see the road ahead. 

 

So, what I’m saying is it’s not all hopeless. There is light at the end of the tunnel; with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence data analysis, it’s possible to refine these purchased lists or your sphere lists to find the Gold that is definitely out there. 

 

At Likely.AI, we recently launched our revolutionary database audit tool. The reaction has been astounding, with Realtors and Mortgage Brokers benefiting from the refinement of their lists. Imagine being able to take your sphere of influence list and upload them into our patented refinement tool to determine the likelihood of finding Gold without doing all the work.
