Owner Contact

[Jeremy Patterson]

Hi, I was wondering is it frowned upon to go knock on a door to talk with the homeowner if their home is in foreclosure. I have a list I put together and wanted to go speak with them before the auction happens in a month. I feel like I could help them, but I do not want to be chased away or get a shotgun pulled on me!

If you want to door knock go ahead but I wouldn't talk about their foreclosure. I would lead with something like, Hi, I'm a real estate investor that is interested in this neighborhood. Are you interested in selling your home? I can close very quickly and you won't have to pay any commissions. Then see where the conversation goes. Always leave your contact information and ask if they know anyone in the neighborhood that wants to sell. After you leave knock on a few more doors, you never know what will come of it.
