Direct Marketing question

I found a list a properties which the owner is not occupying the property from the city and have been doing some research on direct mailing to absentee owners.

However I don't have a lot of confidence to begin mailing the letters, post cards, I see a lot of owners living within the city or the adjacent city of my targeted properties which they can easily ask a realtor to sell their properties and why would they sell the properties to me with a discount?

Anyone know the effectiveness for getting responses and deals? any guidence would be appreciate.

I would say most definatley do this!!

I have a lot of experience in this and a lot of success.

If you give someone (potential seller) a compelling reason to sell to you they will. If they were going to ask a realtor to do sell for them then an email from you is not going to be the deciding factor on this, they would have this in place anyway.

Your email may prompt them into the move though and if your email has the compelling info they are looking for then you WILL have success.

Go for it!!! message me for any help on this anytime :)
