Making offers on expired listings

[Jason Fraser]

I've never made an offer an expired listing so I'm not sure what's the best way to go about it.

Do you contact the agent or the homeowner directly with an offer?

Do you email your offer?

In the offer do you explain how you came up with you number or just send over you number for the offer?

Thanks

listing did not sell because of one reason only ..it was too expensive for the area/décor/interior/comps etc ...the listing agent already worked on the seller to lower the price and it did not happen ...there was no sale ...and listing expired ...do you have much success with finding some equity for yourself and selling to end user (landlord/investor)? hard to believe ..expired is a great material to list again (by another agent who is selling an owner a different dream )...but to wholesale ?
