Approaching Homes in Pre-foreclosure

[Alexis Monroe]

Hello,

I am a real estate agent and would like to start selling homes that are in pre-foreclosures. (Eventually, id like to purchase these homes myself but have to start somewhere)

Over the past few days,  I have finally finished compiling  my FREE list of all names, addresses and phone numbers of people that  have been issued a LIS PENDENS in my county from July 1-July 17. (109 homes)

Could anyone please give advice on how they initially approach the people that are near foreclosure to sell their home?

Do you recommend cold calling or going to their home? Should I tell them that I know their home is in pre-foreclosure? Or, just ask if they want to sell their home without mentioning pre-foreclosure? 

Any ideas, thoughts or advice is much welcomed!!
