Finding Notes - A Contact Sport
Roberta M. Standen
Notes don't have problems. As I used to tell the Real Estate Agents when I owned
and operated a Real Estate Company, "Real Estate doesn't have problems" it just
sits there as an inanimate object. It's the people, the owners who have the
problem(s). When you "contact" the people with the problem, and you can solve it
with the service or solution, you will be a "winner". The same goes for Notes.
Notes don't have problems; it's the owners who have the problems. They made the
choice to take back a note and now need cash for any number of reasons: Medical,
credit cards, overspending at Christmas, house repairs, car repair or
replacement, a new toy or serious stuff like bailing a kid out of jail. Who
knows, but they have problems!
The point here is, you have to "contact" them. Your ship
won't come in unless you sent it out, it's just as simple as that. So, where do
you find them to contact them? That's the sixty four thousand dollar
question. Almost all note consultants are falling over themselves looking in
the same place and typically at great expense.
Here at the Note Servicing Center, we are continually
looking for notes to service and have found the most effective way to mine for
notes is to develop a strategy whereby you multiply yourself though others. You
do this by developing relationships with Synergy Partners. If you have been in
the note business for any length of time, or even for a few months as a new note
broker or consultant, you probably have discovered that searching for that one
illusive "note" can be not only time consuming, but can also require a ton of
money for collateral materials like brochures, flyers, postcards, stationery,
business cards, printing and ads, to say nothing of telephone bills and endless
postage.
