One’s credibility is an integral part in turning people’s minds and an important factor in gaining trust from property owners. This is important in the world of property tax delinquent investments. Buying and selling properties is a no nonsense thing. You ought to do what you say. You should earn a positive feedback from the people in this business. How?
What you can do is to allow yourself to be visible in the World Wide Web in way of a professional website or an online profile. Create an eBay account if you do not have one and start buying really cheap stuff. Buy stuff for a dollar, 99 cents, 2 dollars, and so on. They don’t always have to be properties, but it could help if a considerable amount of your purchase is related to properties. Just buy so that you can get the positive feedback and a reputation of a good buyer. Give the people you buy from a positive feedback and in return you will get a positive feedback from them, too. Eventually this will earn you a 100% positive reputation as a credible buyer.
You should treat people fairly. Good interpersonal communication is the key. In general, if you have a web page that looks somewhat professional and in that web page you have some properties listed. Or if you decide to create a professional profile in any of the available professional social networking sites, make sure you list down some of your transactions and seller references to these transactions. If you decide to post a classified ad, make sure it is easy for sellers to get a hold of you. People will start trusting you faster, when you take the necessary steps I have enumerated here. Just remember to always be responsive to them.
It is a matter of how you present yourself. Build up your self-confidence and do what you are ought to do. If you do what you say then people will believe in you and the ability that you have will automatically be apparent. This is what you can use to your advantage. That is all that it takes. I am an old fashioned guy in that sense. It has worked very well for me as a Tax Delinquent investor and after reading this and following the simple steps in building buyer credibility; I know it will work for your investor reputation, too.
