@Karl Krentzel - since I am not a moderator, when I do an update to a post it will not let me create a hyperlink. So your above post to link to the additions is just as good as any update I would make.

 Thanks for the mention! I appreciate it very much!  I tried to make our script book as complete as possible!  As a matter of fact, we just released out our latest book!  The Red Pill Sales System!  You may want to check it out in the Marketplace!

Steve - Thanks for taking the time to do this! Greatly appreciated!

[Al Rivera]

I'm just starting out with real estate investing and this is a huge help.  Thanks for your efforts and hard work.

[Dennis Oliver]

LOVE this! Thanks for posting.

[Vanessa Castillo]

Thank you  for the helpful links @Steve Babiak! I was able to get a little bit from each one to come up with some helpful ways to comfortably  speak to sellers ! 

Appreciate it! 

[Vincent Gnapi]

what's the first thing that popped up when I did a Google search for wholesale scripts...? This article.  I won't even bother searching further. Thanks @stevebabiak for putting these together.

The nice part of this thread is that you can add commentary here to help out those who are still figuring this out. And you can also visit any of those links I provided to drop in your $0.02 worth (and straighten out any misguided souls at the same time)! I know that I] appreciate your sharing of your experience and expertise ... I suspect others do as well.

 @Steve Babiak Do you have any scripts for approaching distressed sellers in the pre foreclosure stage? This is so awesome!

I'm looking for a script to get real estate agents to team up with me. Anyone here have any?

I recently contacted a real estate agent and asked if she works with investors. She said "yes I can help, let me know what you're looking for" But how do I let her know that I'm assigning contracts?

[Gino Karim]

For someone who's new in the game or someone who needs a little refresh, this is perfect ! And like @Mark Updegraff said, I love how organized your thread is !
