What does your "buying presentation" look like?

[Seti Gershberg]

When first meeting a prospective seller face to face, does anyone provide written information or a visual presentation. 

If so, 

What do you cover?

How many pages or slides?

What is important to cover?

What should you not cover?

Can you provide an example?

[Eric Moore]

@Seti Gershberg then I'd definitely say you don't need to make any formal or written presentation.  Now, I would suggest always bringing a contract with you in case the seller is really motivated when you first meet them.  If you can get the home under contract, be prepared to leave them with a copy.  I personally use the "TurboScan" app to scan the contract right there and email it to them.  That gives them a piece of mind.

Let's say you can't get it under contract, then I suggest sending your written offer in the mail and then following up with some consistent calls.  The letter could be a simple 1 page, professional looking letter that restates your meeting and offer.

Overall, when meeting with the seller you want to listen to their pain points.  What is the true motivation for them selling their property?  Then craft your conversation to be the solution to their problems.  Listen twice as much as you speak and you'll be successful.
