Yellow letter verbiage

Hi All,

I'm starting a direct mail campaign to preforeclosures but I'm not comfortable using the standard "I want to $buy$ your house" verbiage in the yellow letter. I've done it... and would rather deal with someone who knows what I'm about rather than trying to sell to them on the call. I realize that this will mean less calls... but I also expect that the calls I do receive will be better qualified leads.

Does anyone use a yellow letter with something other than standard verbiage above and disclose that you're an investor?

If so, are you finding much success?

I've read articles on other sites about disclosing this information but I don't know if they were successful.

Thanks,
Heather

Hi Sellers First Name,

I buy 4-5 houses a month and thought that before it was too late and the bank took your house that you might want to call me… I can stop the foreclosure at Property Address but you have to call me first…Please give me a call…

Hi Sellers First Name,

You probably have had a lot of people contact you about your foreclosure at Property Address… Before you make the wrong decision and sell it to someone you don’t know please give me a call..

Hi Sellers First Name,

Time is running out… Don’t let the bank sell your house at Property Address and give you nothing… Please give me a call so I can talk to you about buying your house and give you cash in 10 days.

Hi Sellers First Name,

I know the foreclosure you’re going through at Property Address is embarrassing, maybe I can help. I buy houses and can give you cash in as little as 10 days...Please give me a call.

Dear Seller Name,

I noticed your house at Property Address is up for foreclosure and I have a solution for you. Please take a minute to find out what might be the most important thing you could ever know about how to save your house and even your credit.

Foreclosure is frustrating, especially when you’ve got so much at stake. And though you’ve probably been receiving mostly antagonistic phone calls and threatening letters, my letter to you is one that gives hope and offers help.

Though foreclosure is a real and serious matter where bankers/lenders are ready to play hardball, you’ve probably heard all sorts of lies about foreclosures. And because of this misinformation, you may have given up already and think there’s no hope. But did you know that there are ways of saving your house, your credit and even your equity?

I am an expert in these matters and would like to show you how you can put an immediate stop to the unpleasant phone calls, letters and even the foreclosure process, ultimately allowing you to completely resolve your present mortgage problem and to walk away without a single worry. And I won’t charge you a penny for my time.

You see, I’m not an agent with the intention of making money from your unfortunate situation while you lose out. I am interested in showing you how we both can totally win from this situation.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call me now and I’ll show you how. Let’s see what other solutions there are so you can quickly and easily take action to save your mortgage from foreclosing, your equity and credit! I can only help if there’s still time. Don’t wait till it’s too late to do anything.

Call me right now and I’ll show you how. You can reach me at Your Telephone Number

Sincerely,

Dear Seller Name,

I am concerned that you have not contacted me yet about your house foreclosure. I trust that either you were able to get the house out of foreclosure, or you found some other solution. If this is not the case, please take some time and call me to find out how you can save your house and your credit.

You don’t have to lose your house, nor your equity. You don’t have to have your credit jeopardized. There is a way to solve the crisis. And crisis it is! I know and understand how embarrassing this kind of situation can be, but you have to act now. I cannot emphasize this enough. The longer you wait the more difficult it will be to handle the situation.

I have had a lot of experience with these kinds of matters, helping good people just like you for years, and I am able to suggest a way to solve your mortgage problem and salvage your credit. The nice thing about it is that it won’t cost you one thin dime to speak with me about how I can help. It’s absolutely free. This can be a total win-win situation for you, but only if you call me right now.

Imagine resolving your mortgage problem, saving your equity and securing your credit. It can be done. You don’t have to read any more threatening letters or drown out annoying phone calls, or even listen to any more upsetting lies concerning your foreclosure.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain from simply speaking to me about this serious matter, so please don’t let another minute go by as it is getting closer to not being able to do anything.

Don’t put it off for another day. Don’t lose your house! Give me a call and you will be glad you did. My number is Your Telephone Number.
