What is "Ask the Experts"?

"Ask the Experts" is a Group at RealTown.com. The purpose of this group is for people to discuss answers to Real Estate related questions. The questions can be posted by anyone -- RealTown member or not. They are usually questions posed by Real Estate Professionals or Consumers. This is a good opportunity to showcase your expertise.

Where do the questions come from?

Questions are usually questions asked by Real Estate Professionals or Consumers via the "Ask The Experts" link on RealTown.com. If you wish to "Ask the Experts" a question, submit it here.

Who are the "Experts"?

RealTown experts are experienced real estate professionals. These real estate experts are successful real estate agents, real estate brokers, real estate attorneys, and real estate authors. Any RealTown member can post a response to the "Ask the Experts" group, and as you post more valid responses, the more chances you have to become an expert. Expert responses are posted right away, as Member responses are moderated before they are released and posted. Experts also have an Expert badge next to their name.

How do I become an Expert?

The more good answers you submit, the more chance you have of becoming an expert. Experts are chosen by RealTown admins on a case by case basis. Once you are an expert, you will have an Expert badge next to your name when you post to the "Ask the Experts" group, and your posts will not require moderation before displaying online.

How does "Ask The Experts" work?

When a question is submitted, an email goes out across the RealTown real estate network to the first-rate real estate professionals who make up the RealTown experts. If one of our experts is able to answer your question, you will receive a reply by email.

I am trying to put together as much information from as many sources about "Farming Expired Listings".

Do you gather them every day
Is sending letters the best contact,
Besides my strong desire to help the sellers what else should I include in this first contact, what would be the incentive for them to pick up the phone and call me,
I'm thinking the follow-up should be at least 3 times.
MLS would be the obvious sorce for all the information on each seller and the property in question, but what is the quickest way to accumulate,
Yes, I know there are books but they give you sparce information don't seem to hit the subject dead on?

Thank you for your input, is there anything that I may do for you?

I am a commercial mortgage lender and trainer, and would love to become an expert in this area. I write a blog at http://commercialmortgagehotline.blogspot.com , and will sometimes post entries on RealTown. It covers product training, industry trends, marketing ideas, etc.

What is the best way to become an expert.? Thanks.
