Real estate owners receive countless calls. 6 years ago I realized how to differentiate myself from the other callers, and it changed my career - a thread 🧵

Team Bradfield grew this week!
My bride absolutely blew me away with her strength, as she chose an unmedicated delivery. I don’t know if I’ve ever been as stressed and prayed as much as I did on Monday.
I’m a very blessed man.

Residential agent called asking if we would sell a pad site in one of my projects to a daycare. I asked him to submit an LOI, and he sent me a letter with his buyer explaining why they intend to buy the site.

I had a landlord in College Station that was notoriously difficult to work with and would pay every commission 60-90 days late. He called recently and said that he expected to be my first call if I found any good deals in San Antonio.

1.Throw the script out and be a real person. Every other person cold calling is working off a script. Have an outline for the call and be up front as to why you’re calling, but let the conversation flow and look for opportunities to ask open ended questions.

Lord, give me the confidence of someone with no real estate experience calling a broker.
Call from today: “Oh, you’re crazy if you think you can get that for this property.” “Funny you say that, we just got a LOI for pretty close to that, so have a nice day…”

2.Ask as many questions as possible without being invasive. “What do you love about this property?” “What would you change about this property?”
3.Ask for the business mid conversation. “Would you mind if I brought you an offer on this property?”

5.Take them to lunch or drinks! The goal of the call is not to get the sale, its to build a relationship. Business is supposed to be as much fun as it is work. Take these folks to lunch or drinks and get to know them.

Google earth! I’m such a nerd on there. Scrolling back to old aerials to see development trends, comparing the tenant mix on street view to current tenant mix to get a feel for turnover, checking parking lot usage. The uses are endless.
Use it a bunch for fishing and hunting…

Even if you don’t buy/work on their deal they can always send you referrals, and you’re 10 steps ahead of the competition when they eventually decide to sell. The less you talk about real estate, the better.

Offer up solutions to their problems, & when possible do it in the form of a question. “That’s interesting. Have you ever considered xyz solution?” The more you can be the solution to their problems, the more $ you will make. This can be as simple as recent market activity.

The most effective thing I’ve found in my cold calling is sincerity. I talk to owners like we’re old friends, offer help wherever I can, ask to take them to lunch. No scripts, no hard sell. It’s surprising how often it works.

I swear, 60% of brokers I talk to have two offers just shy of list, on properties I inquire about. 😒 Then two months later, the property is still somehow available.

I was taught to cold call like most – “Here’s how you find phone numbers, here’s a script. If you want to make $100K, you need to make X dials. $200K = Y. $300K = Z.” It’s a numbers and tenacity game, so be efficient. Add the no’s to a drip campaign and move on.

I’m in the awkward stage of our pregnancy where I’m warning my clients that I could go off the radar for a couple of days at any point.
They (and my team) have been fantastic and I have a plan to notify everyone, but it still gives me tinge of anxiety.

For all their Texas stores before and during Covid and walked their broker through the data. They ended up deferring rent for 3 months and extending the term. Probably the most fun I’ve had working a deal.

You don’t always have to be the highest offer to win the deal. If a seller is certain in your ability to perform and that you’ll be easy to work with, they’ll frequently take a little less. This applies to everything from

Had a national tenant who restructured through chapter 11 during Covid. Strong company that was previously mismanaged by a PEG and riddled with debt. They declared force majeure, quit paying rent, and claimed they were going to close the store. I pulled cell phone location data

Foot traffic, or at the time number of curbside orders. Their average sale is north of $100, so we were able to extrapolate a pretty high rent to sales estimate that the broker didn’t dispute.

Dear Retail Landlords - Please listen to your broker's advice, particularly when it pertains to cotenancy! So many deals get torpedoed by a smoke shop or other less than desirable tenant, and you hear from the broker "I told em not to take it, but my LL wouldn't listen."

That’s great, but tell me about a high steaks situation where you were unable to prepare beforehand. How did you deal with that situation?

Humility is an underutilized super power in brokerage. Multiple clients/real estate directors have complained to me about the arrogance of a few brokers they deal with on a regular basis.
