follow up phone call
i'll speak with the seller the first time and they decide they don't want to sell the property at the time. few weeks past and i call them to follow up.
after i ask about the property and see if they've changed their mind that's all i wanted to know, but feel like it's kind of rude to have a few seconds conversation. what else can i ask or talk about?
what in the world do we talk about to keep it from being awkward?
thanks

I agree no fluff.
If they answer:
"Hello Mr/s _____ I was just going through my planner before I retired it and saw that we spoke on the ____________ about your home at _________ which really peaked my interest. I just wanted to make sure nothing had changed before I discarded your contact information. We pay cash and cover closing costs remember?"
***Make sure you have good voice inflection on your last sentence***
If no answer:
"Hello Mr/s _____ I was just going through my planner before I retired it and saw that we spoke on the ____________ about your home at _________ which really peaked my interest. I just wanted to make sure you were set on declining a cash payment with no closing costs before discarding your information. If you've decided to cash out give me a call! If I don't hear from you I've gotten the hint. Either way have a blessed/productive/great day!"
