  • Ep 044: 1000's Have Made Millions by Combining Data and Storytelling
    Sean O’Toole, Founder - Property Radar
    Episode 044 1,000s have made millions by combining data and storytelling with Sean O’Toole, Founder – Property Radar
    -The Lockbox Podcast with Jeffrey Brogger 
    Sean O’Toole was a successful entrepreneur and software developer in the Silicon Valley before his dad convinced him to move to Hawaii and run his real estate magazine. The assignment introduced Sean to the real estate industry, and he successfully invested and flipped homes. Unfortunately, he didn’t enjoy flipping properties or being in the industry during the giant foreclosure period around 2005.
    What Sean really enjoyed were the different things he could find in public records. He looked at that data and started writing software to run his business, which eventually became Foreclosure Radar. Looking for the next industry trend, he turned to software again and started Property Radar.
    What Sean really did was find a need, develop a solution and now offers it to others. But he also knows that even with all the data at your fingertips, it still takes a story to find the customer and close the sale.
    In our conversation, Sean and I discuss combining data and storytelling. He also shares:
    The importance of matching high-quality data with the right message.
    The importance of user interface.
    Learn and explore all of a software application’s capabilities.
    Be a lifetime learner.
    Curiosity is a skill for success.
    Getting letters and flyers from the competition.
    How the compound effect works; taking consistent actions to reach success.

    Episode 037 Clever Strategies from the Probate Fox Himself with Ernie Vargas
    -The Lockbox Podcast with Jeffrey Brogger 
    Every action a fox takes is strategic. The fox is wise and clever. And that’s why Ernie Vargas calls himself the Probate Fox, a wise, clever, real estate investor. Robert Allen’s real estate seminars inspired Ernie to enter the world of real estate. But almost by accident, by knocking on the doors of homeowners, Ernie forged into the area of probate. That was 20 years ago, and he still believes it’s a great opportunity for a person with the right mindset.
    Ernie runs a team of researchers in over 3,300 counties in the country and with his expertise in negotiating and marketing, he has helped over 850 investors, agents, and sellers, close deals. He runs successful online programs to teach others how to make probate a part of their career. 
    In our conversation, we discuss:
    The difference between an inherited deed and a probate lead.
    Why the barrier to entry is a good thing.
    The importance of listening to people.
    Dan Kennedy and copywriting resources.
    How real estate professionals can serve people at a time when they really need help.
