Advice on my Absentee owner letter

[Annette Torsarkissian]

Hi guys, 

I hope everyone is enjoying their thanksgiving holiday. I am working on mailing my letters to an absentee owners list I have. Before I print and send them off I was hoping I could get some advice on the wording in my letter.

 I need some insight from a third party that may have tried this method before or have received these letters themselves. What can I put to make the letter more engaging or appealing to the reader?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my letter below:

Dear [Homeowner first name]

I hope this letter finds you well. ?
I am writing to you in regards to your property located on [Property Address]. I am representing buyers that are looking to purchase property in your area quickly and hassle free. ?
In today’s market the seller has a huge advantage to selling their property for top dollar due to the shortage of real estate inventory in Los Angeles county.

I respectfully wonder if you have given any thought in selling your property.

If so, it is a good time to discuss the opportunity available to homeowners who sell their property during a demanding buyer’s market such as the one we are facing today. ??Please call me (818) 274-2223 or email me at [email protected]

I look forward to speaking with you soon. ??Best,

HI @Annette Torsarkissian ,

I also hail from the LA area and I've been mailing homes for quite a while now but I don't pay for any lists.  I just drive around and look for "ugly" homes then look them up on realist and mail to them, whether they are owner-occ or not.  I got two appointments after sending out only 25 letters.  I'm thinking it was a bit of an anomaly since I've sent out dozens since and haven't received another call.  I'm still working on closing the deal on those two.  

My first round letter was very simple and straight to the point:  

Dear Ms. Smith,

My name is Brett Synicky. I’m a licensed Real Estate Agent and I represent a client who is interested in buying your home at 1234 Main St in Los Angeles. My client is very serious, pays all cash for as-is condition and is able to close in 10-14 days in most cases. Please let me know if you’re interested in selling, want to know your homes value or have any other real estate related questions.

Sincerely,

Brett Synicky

Good luck!
