All The Leads Mastermind Podcast

Tune into our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure and Aged Expired niches!

In today’s episode of the All The Leads Mastermind podcast, the conversation focused on creating long-term success in probate real estate by building systems, setting realistic expectations, and leveraging multi-channel outreach. The panel explored how to shift your mindset from short-term wins to building a predictable business model—emphasizing that probate is a long game that often converts after 6 to 12 months. Bill shared his strategy of weekly mailing campaigns and personalized follow-ups that continue producing deals months later, while Bruce broke down how to turn common objections like “we have an attorney” into deeper conversations and future opportunities. New agent Melinda received tactical advice on overcoming DNC roadblocks, refining her call scripts, and segmenting lead lists for smarter follow-up. Patty and Michelle sparked a lively discussion on when to use virtual assistants versus handling calls personally, especially when building rapport with families in distress. The team also highlighted the opportunity with late mortgage leads, with tips on approaching these homeowners with empathy, avoiding “trigger words,” and connecting them to investors and creative solutions before foreclosure strikes. The episode wrapped with a discussion on mailing cadence, long-term drip campaigns, and why combining phone, print, and digital touches is key to winning trust and staying top-of-mind in any market.
