those fliers sure work

[lawnboy82]

hey all. i had gone and passed out fliers maybe 2 months ago. or a month and a half ago. i was a scrub and put the fliers in the mail boxes because most of these areas i went to are really upscale and dont want people walking up the driveway and what not. so far i have gotten calls back from 10 of them? and i only put out maybe 6 - 7 hundred. i think the lowest price i had quoted for the lawns was 50 dollars? per cut every week. however the one i looked at today made it all worth it. 3 homes 2 locations each round is 500 dollars. and they are gonna give me a shot. one place is 6 acres in all but there are fields there and what not. the other place is like another 10 but only maybe 2 need to be cut. beautiful place. every week cut the grass. cleanup for the spring should be a 3 day job 2 guys. minimum. and the fall cleanup i dont even wanna think about. between the 3 homes they are worth i would say about 10 - 15 million. not too shabby for an 18 year old college student right? however i think my best one was last year at the one place that went for 20 million and i was a senior in high school. i gotta post a picture of that one day. but anyways. thanx for the idea for the fliers. it really paid off.

Good for you. I put out about 100 flyers a year ago, spring. While I only received one account last year from my flyers, I have received five accounts since March 2001. I was amazed that people kept the flyers.

When we designed our flyers, we wanted people to keep the flyer on-hand and not discard it. With that in mind, we placed each flyer in a document protector, ($8.00 for 500 at Sam's.)

The people that have called had placed the flyer in a three ring telephone type binder, or kept it file in the yellow page book.

So, IHMO, flyers do work.

If the trees waaaayyyyy off in the background are part of the estate then you may want to get started. With those trees and that size property I would almost consider buying a turf vac.
Good luck,

Thats the crappest house i ever seen no ofence but how can that go for 20 million is that the gargage or something idk but whatever 20 million thats unreal

[lawnboy82]

here is the reason why that place is worth so much. those trees in the background are on the other side of the road of which he owns 60 acres. then on the same side of the roas as the house is another 90 acres. there is 20 acres of ponds there which a large condo complex has 3 wells in. they pay him for that i guess. then they also have their treatment plant on the road that i keep my stuff on. there is a large barn to the right, old cow barn. as well as another garage in which there is a 1967 mercedes benz convertable. the house was built in 1849. has 5 floors. 1 that you cant even see, 1 that is half in and half out of the ground and the others go up from there. probably 8,000 sq ft plus. now the way that i get about 20 million is that around here an undeveloped acre goes for about 120,000 if not more. so if you do the math and dont figure in for the developed part which is about 3 or 4 acres of developed and about 10 acres of improved land you get over 20,000,000 dollars. this is the view from the back of the house. not a very good picture the front looks much better. took that picture maybe 3 weeks ago and they just did the cleanup last week. people come to take pictures of that place. they come up the driveway and snap photos the ponds on the other side of the road you can always catch stuff in. mostly bass but there are others as well. they let people fish there and take what they catch as long as the fisherpeople take their garbage with them. real nice place real nice people. sorry i took such a bad photo. matt is me by the way
