Transcript:

Steven Jack Butala:

Steve and Jill here.

Jill K DeWit:

Hi.

Steven Jack Butala:

Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill K DeWit:

And I'm Jill DeWitt broadcasting from the Valley of the Sun.

Steven Jack Butala:

Today, Jill and I. Well, it's Jill Friday. She's going to talk about our land academy community and how it provides 24-7 support.

Jill K DeWit:

Cool.

Steven Jack Butala:

Before we get into it, let's take the question.

Jill K DeWit:

Yes.

Steven Jack Butala:

Posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community, it's free. Hey, check out parcelfact.com. We spend a lot of time and money consolidating Parcel Fact and Neighbor Scoop into one great product. It's cheaper. It works better and...

Jill K DeWit:

Mobile friendly.

Steven Jack Butala:

Yeah, mobile friendly and by leaps and bounds it's the best product out there for exactly what we do, which is we're on the phone with the seller. I need to find this property and see if I want to take it to the next step.

Jill K DeWit:

State, county, APN. I'm looking at it and that's all I need for my due diligence. It's awesome.

Steven Jack Butala:

Yep.

Jill K DeWit:

Corey wrote hoping to get some advice on what to do. My wife and I are getting ready to send off our first mailer. She'll be listed on the offer since she's going to be primarily handling the phone calls. After Googling her name, the top results are new stories and pictures from 2020. Oh my gosh. That she just happens to have the same name.

Steven Jack Butala:

Yeah.

Jill K DeWit:

About a woman con artist and scam artists who shares my wife's name. Does anyone have any suggestions about what we should do? We thought about using her middle name and I wouldn't have thought of this by the way. This is brilliant that you did. I didn't think about Googling that ahead time

Steven Jack Butala:

Have you ever googled your name?

Jill K DeWit:

I've Googled myself. And you know it's funny.

Steven Jack Butala:

You're not a felon.

Jill K DeWit:

No, I'm definitely not a felon. And I'm not that Dutch woman. A long time ago, there was a woman in Holland because of the last name, DeWitt. And I got her, she's so pushed down on the list now. And she's probably on page 23 of Google. I don't know what it is, but she got pushed way down. So funny anyway. But does anyone have any suggestions about what to do, we thought about using her middle name? I wasn't sure if what other issues could this cause. We created a LinkedIn to associate her name with the business, but it gets buried amongst the other articles. Oh man, this...

Steven Jack Butala:

There's another Steve Butala out there.

Jill K DeWit:

Good thing to check it.

Steven Jack Butala:

Before I answer this, there's another Steve Butala out there he's like a PhD in physics or something like that. And he is a professor, and we talked to each other one time. We're only two that I know, his middle initial is the same as mine too.

Jill K DeWit:

We've had bank stuff screwed up by that.

Steven Jack Butala:

He makes me look good. He's like crazy intelligent. My answer is not going to be, you're not going to like it.

Jill K DeWit:

What's your answer?

Steven Jack Butala:

Change the name on the mailer. You don't need anybody, not even one single person Googling this and seeing the word scam. You just don't need it. Or put your name on it, or I like the middle name idea.

Jill K DeWit:

Put both of your names on it.

Steven Jack Butala:

Or maybe both their names or...

Jill K DeWit:

Because then no matter who answers the phone. You're both listed

Steven Jack Butala:

Honest. This is, I don't know what your comfort level is with this, but considering consider creating another name for your wife. Where it's not Jill Dewitt. What did you have an alias like Jill Beach or something like that?

Jill K DeWit:
