Anyone doing outreach to agents with short sale listings?

A colleague and I are trying this approach to agents with short sale listings on the MLS. We are also agents. Any thoughts?

Dear John,

I'm contacting you in regards to your short sale listing. Do you currently have an offer on the property?

I work with a short sale negotiator/investor who pays cash for short sale properties. My negotiator will work with the lender to negotiate the offer, and they will be the cash purchaser. My investors are purchasing these properties to re-sell to end users.

I would be happy to discuss this with you in further detail. Please call me at 732 xxx-xxxx

You will see more and more Investors "going" after Realtors for Short Sales. It is great, if it fits into your business plan.

You have to make sure that any Realtor you want to conduct business with, FULLY understands what you plan on doing. And make sure that they will participate fully. (I have a few clients that have Realtors sign an agreement that states what both parties are suppose to do and not do in each transaction.)
