Less than 1% of my list is calling me back

[Keith Agnello]

Hello everyone,

Just want to get feedback on my mailing and some advice on my next step.

I purchased a list towards the tail end of November of absentee owners as well as got another from an agent I recently started working with as of last month.

On my first mailing I sent 1200 postcards, received 3 calls, 1 appointment, no deals.

On this 2nd go around, I have sent 500 "handwritten" standard yellow letters, 3 calls, 1 appointment, no deals.

My market in Orange County, CA as many of you know is a tough market. I have even trimmed down my mailings to out of state absentee owners thinking there could be motivation but even those owners believe they have prime real estate and are expecting full retail offers.

So, my question is, if you were in my shoes, what would you do?

Get a new list in a more investor friendly market?

Keep mailing on this list? Someone told me at a networking event mail at least 3-4 times on the same lists.

Just looking for advice and guidance.

Thanks,

Keith
