Help me find more sellers

[Minna Reid]

So as promising as my phone leads off my local newspaper seemed to be at first, over the last few weeks, they've pretty much turned out to be useless - about 95% unmotivated sellers looking to save realtor fees. I pulled the ad, but would like to put it back in as it was a fairly inexpensive method to get the phone to ring quite abit and put my name out there, except I need to reword it to attract more MOTIVATED SELLERS. Any ideas for good phrases that would attract the sellers I want to hear from?
Or maybe I should just skip the paper and get my signs up ( they're still in the box!!!) and do some direct mail maybe? My website does catch leads, but only when I get the name out so people go there.
I do talk to everyone imaginable that could be of help to find more sellers, but so far that has proved fruitless....and there are no REI clubs or other investors (that I know of) in my area to get a good network going.
