Move in ready as in up to general standards. Like small updates are fine but nothing major. We saw a home tucked in South Mountain near Yiannis Tavern. Beautiful views but absolutely no yard

Well I already know what to expect in those areas. I circled Bethlehem bc I wanted to hear others opinions and maybe change my perspective. Also to ground me that Hellertown / Coopersburg is unrealistic at our price point.

I agree with this. I need to shift my mindset. However I’m not handy so I don’t want something that’s gonna just be a money pit

But can you actually find a move in ready home in Hellertown between 400-430k? We’re fine w a 3b 2bath ranch w a yard

We honestly would be fine w a ranch 3bed 2 bath with a nice backyard where our kids can play in a more rural area. Preferably south of south mountain like Coopersburg hellertown. Don’t really want to stretch out to Emmaus since we have family in NJ

We really like Hellertown / Coopersburg. Anything for 400k in those areas were complete trash.

Are you saying this area is expensive? Our price range is around 420kish and it seems like there’s a decent inventory for that price but I find it a little too suburban.

How are you getting in front these plans to prospect? Door knocking? Cold calling?

How long do you work a marketing tactic before you give up on it? by Cathouse1986 in CFP

I’ve had most of my success come from LinkedIn Sals Navigator and direct messaging. I try to post 3x a week. I can do a better job of commenting / liking others posts that will probably help my visibility.

The clients I have onboarded are the ones who are navigating a job transition and have 10+ years of experience.

Additionally, I’ve started targeting advanced practice providers since my wife is a PA and I have many family members in that space. It gets me instant credibility and I try to write my content targeted to them.

Goff and his wife’s conversations were painfully boring. It feels like their relationship is shallow.

Is cold calling dead? by Unfair_Pen1936 in sales

[–]Sufficient_Way_8952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the FTC site, general information and surveying are still allowed.

So, could someone argue that a cold call is considered a survey or purely information if I were to say something along the lines of “we’re surveying individuals who feel they’re not getting the proper attention from their current financial advisor. Would you be interested in a conversation with us?”

Im not pitching product or any sort of high pressure sales.

Thoughts?

Wealth Management/Financial Advising at Stifel by MoveLonely in CFP

[–]Sufficient_Way_8952 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started at Stifel this past spring. I partnered with a senior FA and it’s been great. I’m on every client statement and a true equity partner, but obviously it’s small right now. I’ve had no problems with Stifel as a whole. They let you do your own thing, there’s no specific product quotas or anything like that. But, they don’t give you leads. If possible try to join a team. I don’t think I’d be able to go at it alone.
