I got a lead on a house owned by an elderly woman who left a voicemail and won't pick up the phone when I try to call her back. Her son/grandson is even the voice on her voicemail. I have seen the outside of the house and it looks like a tear down and new construction project, so I already know my maximum offer. Do I mail her a formal letter of my offer, or do I just keep calling her until I reach her? I have her mailing address, because PropStream has it in the database.
How long did it take for you to call her back? It could be that she called another investor in between and they got the deal. Most of us can't answer 100% of the calls that come in, but it's important to try.
I agree with @Ellis San Jose, if she's local you should stop by her house and knock on the door.
I have attempted 3 times in one day. She left a voicemail the day she probably got the letter. Me and her have never spoken. Also, the house I want is in Norfolk, VA and is vacant and uninhabitable. Her mailing address is in Cary, NC. Thank you very much for answering my question!
Knock. Either you or a well presenting/ friendly/ knowledgeable/ trustworthy (that part is important) colleague. Don’t pick a random realtor name from google, you’re likely just sending them a lead for their own portfolio If you do.
