Letters to to find high end houses to buy

[Bonnie Hyslop]

Has anyone found a specific letter or type of wording that brings in better returns for finding high end houses to buy? I've been told the average yellow letter that works in our area only goes up to ARV's of 200k. Thanks.

@Bonnie Hyslop Great question! I'm guessing phone calls are going to be the most effective way to get those deals. But, don't take my word for it because I'm just a newbie. Just seems to me the sensible thing to do. I've heard a lot of people say they get a higher rate of positive response when they call instead of sending letters or emailing. It's probably especially true for people who have houses above the 500k mark. I'll be curious to know what experiences others on here have had.

What verbage they use in their direct mail gets the best responses. I live in a high end area (Los Angeles..specifically southbay) and I've got letters out to a bunch of owners but I'm planning to call them this week.
