A better strategy may be to mail to listings at 150-days to hit them a month before they (6-month listings) expire. Can anyone speak to trying that?
My concern with expireds is that they rode that listing all the way into the ground and probably had an agent telling them it was too expensive and suggesting price drops to get it sold, but NO, that seller STUCK TO THEIR GUNS. Why? Because they aren't really that interested in selling their house! There is a class of seller (the "unmotivated" category) that just puts their house out there at a high price to see if there are any bites. I'm guessing that applies to a high percentage of expired listings.
"Sales" and getting listings, deals, whatever is about human behavior. People who actually need/want to sell, in a reasonable time frame, are your best targets, and I just don't see that being the behavioral model of an expired listing. Am I wrong?
