Got my 1st Cold Call Listing

I've never been a big fan of cold calling, but the past 3 months have slowed up for me so I decided to give it a try - or a "nothing to lose" mind set.

I went to check out craigslist and found a For Sale By Owner who wanted to sell their house in my market area. I gave her a call and asked if it was still for sale.. she told it was, and if it was priced too high we could work on it.

I thought it my head.. wow, she needs to sell! I asked her how long its been on the market (over a year), and asked her if it was listed with an agent. She began to tell me how no RE agents do a good job, etc.

I told her I was a RE agent and would sell her house in 60 days. I gave her my website and told her to go read and see if she likes it. I would call her the next day.

I called her the next day, and she said let me think about it. She called me back yesterday and I'm listing it Thursday.

1st Cold Call Success Story for me. I'll be picking up the phone more often now.

Danny
