Posted on May 15th, 2009 by saman

Have you resolved to set up a business for cleaning foreclosures? Or as a matter of fact, are you running such business? Then, you should be aware that you will receive incessant calls, starting from junior service providers to people who want to invest in this field. They will enquire, asking questions such as- in what way do you price jobs or what is the total revenue for this sort of business. One will not only experience these questions, but also numerous comments.

Following are some situations, which a foreclosure cleanup business owner genuinely goes through every single day:

“I’m an owner of a landscape company, together with this I wish to put my services in a foreclosure clean up business. Can you please assist me, telling how you fix your pricing? ”Or “I’m considering implementing a foreclosure eliminating business. I would like to know approximately how much you earn for clearing each foreclosure. I only require an outline, to anticipate the amount I can make.”

Or “At present I have a general contracting business, but I’m interested heading towards a foreclosure cleaning business. In order to do paint work or repairing, how do you actually fix the prices?”

For answering these worthless questions don’t get trapped. It is not the case, that by avoiding this sort of questions you are denying to provide a helping hand or you don’t want your business tactics to be known in public. Besides, this doesn’t involve any realistic reasons.

Below are a few reasons, why foreclosure cleaning businesses shouldn’t bother to such calls.

Wastage of time: Yes, it is a huge wastage of time to take these questions, while managing such a busy and hectic business. Perhaps, you will also prefer putting in that time to the business. Due to the fact, that currently foreclosures are holding the top position in the news, this attracts many new investors to this field. Definitely you will be receiving 5-15 such calls everyday; perhaps also from different countries. Calls in this category can end in 10 minutes or stretch till half an hour or more.

You are no advising company: Typically, the caller starts the conversation with one or two questions, but that’s not the end of the story. The conversation is then prolonged with other related questions mounting up, one after another. The questions are endless.

Remember, you are running a foreclosure business and you are no advice provider. Don’t give yourself consolation that after answering the caller in details you will get rid of it. It will get worst, as they will keep on dialing your number as soon as they face a new problem.

This business constitutes loads of knowledge which can only be learned by gaining experience.

You can’t take the responsibility to answer accurately: You are well aware, that the job pricing factor depends on many conditions such as: house area, location, work load, number of equipments and workers required. So, it’s not sensible, if you attempt giving out unsure approximations.
