Real Estate Agents How to Add Credit Repair to Sell More Homes

If you think of what you do as a Real Estate Agent, you market yourself to get leads of prospective buyers and sellers. Then you qualify these people to see if they are worthy of your time. The majority, as in any sales scenario, don’t lead to a sale. But what if you could take a portion of these leads, your credit-challenged buyer leads, and use a tool to build your pipeline? Real Estate Agents, I’m going to share with you how to add credit repair to sell more homes.

You may or may not refer these credit-challenged buyers leads, the people that can’t qualify due to credit score, to a credit repair company now. If you do not, you may not think credit repair really works. Or, you may have had a bad experience with a credit repair company. If you do, that’s great. But are you kept aware of the progress of these leads through the credit repair process? And how many of these leads do you actually get back as a qualified buyer?

What I just shared represents some of the challenges in using credit repair as a tool to increase the number of closed escrows each year. Now I’m going to overcome each of these challenges and show what thousands of real estate agents around the country are doing to explode their business.

Before We Go Into Detail

If you like what you read here or watch in the video about 'real estate agents how to add credit repair to sell more homes', you can refer your clients to us. But the bigger opportunity is for you to directly offer services to your credit-challenged buyer prospects to increase their credit score. The goal here is to give you an opportunity to offer services that will attract buyers to you. You can use these services in your marketing to get people to call you first. By doing so you will earn additional income and keep better control over these buyer prospects.

Does Credit Repair Really Work?

The true and honest answer is yes and no. Or, better put, sometimes. To understand why is to understand credit repair and credit repair law. Credit repair is strictly defined as the removal of derogatory items from a credit report using federal credit reporting law. If an account on a credit report is erroneous, it can easily be updated or possibly removed. If an account is obsolete, older than 7 years, it can easily be removed. However, a majority of derogatory accounts are not erroneous or obsolete. They really did happen within the last 7 years. In those cases, the only way they are removed is when the creditor does not respond back to the credit bureau when the account is disputed by the credit repair company on behalf of the consumer.

Why the Majority of Credit Repair Companies Don’t Get the Results Your Client Needs

Does this type of derogatory account (not erroneous, not obsolete) get removed? Yes, on a very regular basis. But not always. That is why some clients don’t get the results they need to qualify for a mortgage. If you as a real estate agent or your client do not understand what I described above, you are both going to be disappointed with the credit repair company. This next point is important. There are very few credit repair companies that do anything but try to remove negative accounts for your client. The results are hit and miss.

We Can Impact 100% of a Credit Score – What We Do Differently

Yes, we do credit repair and do it very well. But just like every other credit repair company we must work within federal law to attempt to get derogatory items removed. As mentioned above, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. But we go much further than credit repair.

When a derogatory item is removed it does increase a consumer’s credit score. But it only affects a portion of their credit score, Payment History. Payment history only impacts 35% of a credit score. If 1 or 2 items get removed, the credit score goes up. But perhaps not significant enough to get someone qualified. So, we work on the other 65% of a credit score as well. Namely, Amounts Owed (35%), Length of Credit History (15%), Credit Mix (10%), and New Credit (10%).

Services That Impact 100% of a Credit Score

We take a holistic approach to each client. We first look at them as individuals and their specific credit history. Then we assess how we can impact that client’s credit score the most. Credit repair, of course, is part of it. But we also look at the positive side of their credit report ledger. How can we increase the number of positive accounts they have? Perhaps we can add some new credit accounts with money they are already spending. Such as getting their rent payments for the last 24 months added to their Equifax, Experian, and Transunion credit reports. What if we can get them to pay down some of the amounts owed such as on their credit cards? Perhaps they don’t have credit cards. We get them one and teach them how to use it. And, much more.

Build Your Pipeline of Buyers and Earn Income

Yes, we would be pleased if you decide to simply refer your clients to us. We will take good care of them and keep you aware of their progress. However, for just referring your clients there is no compensation to you other than helping more of your clients get in a position to buy a home from you.

However, you can become an Independent Advisor yourself. You can offer these services directly to your client. When you do so you earn $75 upfront and $10 per month for as long as your client is on service with us. It’s not a huge amount of income but you do very little work to earn it. In addition to the income, the advantages to being an Independent Advisor are that you can use these services to market yourself as a real estate agent that helps credit-challenged buyers. You will be very aware of their progress and you’ll be building your pipeline of qualified buyers.
