Best way to calling prospects and asking to sell their property?

[Christian Laines]

Hello BP,

I have found several homes driving for dollars and have searched on tax records for those owners. I also found their phone numbers on advancedbackgroundchecks.com and am looking to call them and ask if they are interested in selling their property. I am looking to flip these properties as they are either distressed properties or vacant looking homes. Not going to lie, I am super nervous about calling them without sounding like a creep.

So my question is, when you call homeowners asking them if they are interested in selling their properties, do you have an elevator speech? If so, can you give me an example of what you are saying without sounding like you just searched their whole life and sounding like a creep? 

What is it that you say to sound professional (as an investor) without them thinking you're just bluffing?

Thanks in advanced.
