Realtor Investor Contact & Follow Up

[D'Aydra Allen]

As Realtors, how do you word your marketing to remain professional and to get as many leads as possible? I've decided to drive for dollars and I have come up with many options. I see wholesale potential in some so far but also see an opportunity to gain listings as well. 

When pursuing these potential deals, should I send a letter first? If so, do you have a good sample coming from a Realtor who is also an investor?? Or do I do some skip tracing and just call these folks right away? If so, what service do you recommend I use?

Basically how do I say, "hey do you want to sell your home for cash or would you like to list with me?" without sounding pushy or messy? I want to offer as much as I can in a single effort (letter or call) in a polished way.

Any feedback is welcome, thanks in advance!

You don't want to mix those messages in my opinion. I assume option A is to wholesale the property, I would gear my message to that end. I might put an asterisk in my signature denoting that I am a licensed agent in VA. Might bring a little clout to any assessment of their home you might provide. Get the phone to ring, assess their problem or situation, then provide the appropriate solution.

If you have phone numbers I have had success with slybroadcast to do ringless voicemails (not endorsing it as 100% legal) but certainly effective. This is the non pushy way, as the folks who call you back are generally the ones who are interested.
