Jerome Lewis CREIA Speaker February 16, 2021, 6:30 PM
Our guest speaker, Jerome Lewis will walk us through how to “Get Motivated Seller Real Estate Leads Through Facebook” and all sorts of other tech stuff!
In this presentation, we are going to walk through one of the most effective ways to generate real estate leads through Facebook for real estate investors. Facebook can be a highly effective real estate leads generator for your real estate business when done correctly.
Generating real estate leads, in general, can be relatively easy but as real estate investors, we usually need more specific leads. We need real estate leads of motivated sellers. We need a pipeline of real estate leads that are willing to accept a discount on their property in exchange for us paying all cash, closing quickly, and/or providing the motivated sellers with other than traditional real estate closings. Some people believe motivated seller leads are exclusively for wholesalers and real estate investors, but with minor tweaks, these strategies can be implemented successfully for real estate agents as well.
First and foremost, to be effective on Facebook, you need to have a foundation and establish some basic essentials. At the very least you will need, a personal Facebook profile, a Facebook Business page, a website, and ultimately a budget. Jerome’s objective in this presentation will be to translate this technical and complicated process into something that anyone can understand, especially those that aren't very technical.
Before going into real estate, Jerome earned his degree in Specialized Computer Technology, worked at an IT Data Center for more than 7 years, then worked for a small start-up as a consultant, helping build their technical support department from the ground up. This experience gave him insight into tools and processes that do and do not work for specific business needs. Jerome now specializes in marketing. Specifically, digital marketing and video marketing are his favorite forms of marketing.
Jerome is a real estate agent at eXp Realty in Philadelphia where he also teaches their Social Media Mastermind course. Jerome says “From my personal experience, over 10 years specializing in computer and Technology Industries, technology is forward-thinking and cutting-edge. There is nothing like being on the innovative edge of technology. We can get much done through technology.”
Believe it or not, Jerome is an introvert. He says “If I could be quiet all day, I would. I don't like to talk but that's not the way the world works.” He scored as an ISFJ on the Myers/Briggs profile. So Jerome is a very direct person and result-oriented - great at cutting through the “fluff.” Jerome says “If you want to feel good about something, I am not the right person to talk with. If you want results or progress with something, I am the right person.”
Jerome is a father of four wonderful children and owner of Digital Real Estate Strategy.

Meet CREIA’s Member of the Month for February 2021!
Liz Wiederhold with Seller Solutions
Liz joined her first REIA in Charlotte in 2000 and was introduced to investing in the CREIA weekend course taught by Bill Goacher, John Maltry and David Maggard in the early 2000s. She learned fast and started sharing what she had learned with the CREIA community - she was the Educator of the Year for CREIA in 2010!
When Liz started investing, she got her RE license - just for educational purposes! But, she was taken with the flat fee concept and started Seller Solutions as a result. Seller Solutions is an innovative 100% local real estate agency. Established in 2004, Seller Solutions is “flat fee MLS” at its best. They are the leading discount firm in Western North Carolina and have consistently ranked in the top ten selling firms (on the listing side) in the area for the past five years.
She has invested in real estate part time for several years; dabbled in multi-family, but didn't love it. She found her comfort zone in remodeling and flipping. With her husband, Paul, she also owns a few vacation rentals. But, most of her time is taken up with her primary business - which she has run for 16 years now. Seller Solutions was a corporate sponsor for CREIA for a long time 2004-2018 - she lists properties for a lot of investors who flip and build.
Liz’s parents met and married in Asheville, and she often visited as a child. After living in several places and enjoying a 15+ year career in social work with teens, she returned to her roots in Asheville in 2003 to launch Seller Solutions. Liz and her husband, Paul, live on the French Broad River west of Weaverville.
Liz is known for her ever-present red jackets, home baked cookies, and a passion for real estate. She is dedicated to working with homeowners, investors and builders to save them money, and says she has “The Greatest Job Ever!”.
We are delighted to recognize Liz’s many accomplishments and contributions to our community -
Liz Wiederhold, CREIA Member of the Month!
