Marketing Letter Comments

[Gary Parker]

The following is a letter I want to use to market to people 90 days late on their mortgage but before a NOD. I am OK with short sale and listing leads as well as out right purchases. Most of this letter is borrowed from poster that posted his yellow post card on the Forum. I am sorry I cant find the name of the poster as I am in the middle of reading all the posts here.

I would welcome all comments.

THIS LETTER WILL HELP YOU CURE YOUR HEADACHE

Hi «GIVEN_NAME» «SURNAME»

My name is Gary Parker. I currently am in the market for 3 houses in your neighborhood, and I was hoping to speak to you regarding buying your property at «CONTRACTED_ADDRESS»

Let me tell you a little about what I do. I buy houses like yours all the time. I solve your headaches whatever the solution is. Equity, no equity, great condition or needs a ton of repairs, I CAN BUY YOUR HOUSE.

• Do you desire a fresh start? - I can help you.
• Is your payment just too much for you right now? - I can solve that problem.
• Are you concerned about your children staying in the same area for school? - I will help you find a place in the same school district.
• Do you need cash fast? - You can have it in as little as a few days.

I pay all the costs – The costs that you are going to save by selling me your house are: Real Estate Commission – Title Insurance – Escrow Fees – Transfer Fees – Inspection Costs – Repairs To Bring Up To Market Standards – Mortgage Payments – Property Insurance – Property Tax – Maintenance. Just a couple of these costs could run thousands of dollars paid out of your pocket.

I will buy your house in an “as is” condition. I am going to assume the responsibility for any and all repairs to the home…no matter how many repairs there are.

I can have you your money in as little as a few days. In fact one of the positive factors about selling me your house is the peace of mind knowing it is sold. Not only sold but sold to someone who can afford to buy it.

Believe me, there is nothing more frustrating than seeing a deal break down at closing because a buyer can’t get a loan or a lender wants all kinds of repairs done to your house first. That will not happen to you.

You see I buy with my own money. Your house doesn’t have to qualify to a lender and I am not going to have your house professionally appraised.

Another positive factor for you, «GIVEN_NAME», is you won’t have any of the months of monthly costs that add up while waiting for the right buyer to come along with the right offer, and have that buyer be one who can actually follow through on the purchase. Especially in today’s market when it could take months to get a house sold, escrow settled, and money in your pocket.

The most important factor is that you can get on with your life and not have the burden of trying to sell your house hanging around your neck.

When we agree on a price you can consider your house sold.

Isn’t that really what you want? If you are serious about selling your house you owe it to yourself to…call me today.

God Bless
