Off Market Property Owner Script
Hi BP
Despite all the years of cold calling I have done, I am starting to wonder if I have lost my edge. The past year none of my deals have come via cold calls. They were mail or referrals.
I recently lost a deal to another investor despite being in touch with the decision maker and having a tentative date set to tour the property.
My approach this past year has been very direct to the point. When the decision maker answers I say: " Hi my name is Rich Hupper, I would like to buy the house located at....." This does not seem to be working.
Does anyone have an off market property owner rapport building script I could use?
