New 60-Second Video Reveals Secret to Acquiring Pro Athlete Real Estate Clients

SEATTLE, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The real estate industry has been hit hard over the last several years. The National Association of Realtors, Members Profile 2012 Report, www.realtor.org, reports the typical realtor in 2011 had:

• Sales volume of $1.3 million in 2011, up from $1.1 million in 2010
• Median gross income of $34,900 in 2011, up from $34,100 in 2010
• Earned 19 percent of their business from past clients and customers
• Earned 20 percent through referrals from past clients and customers
• Eleven years of experience

Difficulty in obtaining mortgage financing was the most cited reason for potential clients being limited in their purchase.

At first glance, in a challenging real estate environment, it's clear that the numbers are slowly improving. One East Coast residential real estate broker put it this way,

"Well, the old 80/20 rule is alive and well; even in real estate. 20% of the licensed agents out there are handling 80% of the sales. The other 80% of the agents are mostly going through the motions and picking up a deal from time to time; or not at all."

How do you become the 20%, handling 80% of the transactions, or better?
Because of the challenging economic environment, continued pressure in the housing market & high competition for real estate agents & brokers, we have identified a distinct opportunity, right now, for realtors who take action to dramatically increase market share by tapping into the underserved pro athlete market.

What we have learned about pro athlete real estate clients the past 3 years
Based off of the research we have completed over the last 3 years and utilizing the experience of the 4 founders (former Wall Streeter, veteran sports agent, veteran high ticket sales consultant, former NBA point guard) we have identified a unique client base for real estate agents in 10 specific states (more on this later) servicing the sports industry.

Before we get to that, let's look at salary statistics on the 16 professional sports:

*Average salaries for the 4 major North American sports leagues:

• NBA: $5.35M/yr.
• MLB: $3.34M/yr.
• NFL: $1.89M/yr.
• NHL: $1.90M/yr.

Average annual salary of the 16 top professional sport leagues in North America

• +$1.60M/yr.

What does the average profile of the athlete real estate client look like?

• Due to high average incomes (+$1.6M/yr.), transactions on the buy, sell, investment sides tend to be in the 7 to 8 figure range
• Due to ongoing trades, overall travel, ongoing real estate transactions & needs are higher than the average non athlete clients
• Due to the profession, this market has high ongoing leasing needs
• Due to the amount of time athletes spend together, it tends to be a high referral client base
• Even though all 50 states do not have professional sports leagues, athletes do have roots in all 50 states (hometown, vacation properties, etc.)
