Transcript:
Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here.

Steven Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.
Jill DeWit: And Jill DeWit broadcasting from sunny Southern California.
Steven Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about Illinois Governor Pritzker, property tax evasion investigation. Sounds boring, but I promise you it's not.
Jill DeWit: This is a good one.
Steven Butala: Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.
Jill DeWit: Michael A. Hello. Michael asks, "Hello friends, for those of you who have subscribed to PATLive, how's it working out? Sure, PATLive can take messages, but are they really helping out? Are you simply calling back at the calls that PATLive takes? Is it really helpful? Every call is different and often there's amount of rapport building that's needed to convince the seller that you're not a scam or that your offers legit? Is PATLive able to do this for you? Please share your experiences. Thanks."
Steven Butala: Jill's an expert at this, but I must say before she answers, I've never seen so many answers, membership answers. There's probably 35 answers of positive experiences from our users about PATLive. So, there's an underlying meaning here to this question. Jill's going to answer the actual question. Does PATLive work, yes or no? And I'm going to answer, what I think is the underlying meaning here.
Jill DeWit: Okay, I love it. So here's the deal about... So PATLive, there are other different services out there, but we all, as a group, use PATLive and it's nice because they are a little bit real estate based. I think we have a group and they know us.
Steven Butala: They understand our group.
Jill DeWit: They do and they understand our calls and what we're doing. We've got some seasoned people now, so it works out great. But what's funny too is... What it is, is you send out mail, and the offers come back. You can pick up the phone yourself and weed through all the calls, either the good and the bad and the, "Hey, take me off your list calls." Or you can have someone like PATLive answer the phone, weed through those calls and then, just send you the responses. Which is a beautiful thing because it saves you so much time and energy.
Jill DeWit: Maybe you have a day job. This covers that for you and then, all you get at the end of the day is a list of who you want to call back. You may have six no's, one person that was really unhappy and you can see that. Then, you have four people that said, "Love your offer. How fast can we close?" And those are the ones you call back.
Jill DeWit: So it's really great and they'll take down some of the details too, which I appreciate. Because what you can do then is have a chance to look up the property and just look over some things and go, "All right, I remember what I offered. They liked it. There's the property." So when you call them back, you're ready to in that... Now you're only making that one phone call, you can efficiently, really close the deal on that call.
Jill DeWit: You could have already looked it up and said, "Hi, I just want to make sure I'm talking to Mr. and Mrs. Smith? Yep. Well, I looked it over and you accepted my offer of $1,293? Yep. We love it. Can we do it on Tuesday like you said? Absolutely. Is this the right address for you [inaudible 00:03:11] notary? Yes it is." And you can see how that goes. You could really in one call, with this service,
