BEV! 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2004 Just want to point out something really fast here about the email replies we get... While some of these replies are really homeowners wanting more information, I have found out that a good number of them are investors just like most of us and when they read the email about how we can help with their properties they get intrigued of course and start asking for information for us to send them and pretend to be homeowners (when they really have the porperties under contract only).. therefore, they will ask for a lot of information.. I can already tell an investors from the real homeowners now, homeowners don't really want to know the technical part of it... the investors do! So be careful :ph34r: BTW: I advertise my properties online on these places you send emails to... (most of them are free) I get emails from investors too!

Gary (MO) 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2004 I've noticed that the next challenge with the email replies is to determine their motivation. The ones I've talked to are simply "fishing" for potential buyers. One guy had a $749k lake house in KC. Ultimately he's "not in any hurry and if I sell it I plan on traveling for 6 months to a year..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinwale 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 Just wanted to say that I sent out 15 emails to FSBO and received about 7 responses. 2 were not in too much of a hurry to sell. It didnt matter to them either way. Thats good I think though because they didnt shoot the idea down. 3 have sold their home already, and 2 said that they were not interested in selling on a lease purchase. I can say that with these #'s and playing the game, I think this could really be a decent strategy to focus on. Akin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary (MO) 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 If you look at it from the standpoint that it's a numbers game then it doesn't really matter HOW you contact sellers as much as the fact that you CONSISTANTLY DO contact the sellers. If it takes 100 seller contacts to get 1 lead, then you are 15 closer to your deal! (If it takes 500 seller contacts - you are still 15 closer to your deal...) The point? You are NEVER going to catch a fish without first going fishing... How many casts before that first bite? Who knows? Does it really matter though? Happy casting Akin!
