What to Bring to Seller Appointment - Wholesale Real Estate

[Brittany Witt]

I'm getting prepared to go on my first seller appointment with a motivated seller. I'm curious about what papers I should bring.

I found a great thread here about what to bring but I have one question, should I bring two purchase and sale agreements and fill them both out exactly the same that way I have a contract and the seller has a contract? 

Or would it be better to fill out a single purchase and sale agreement and I take it with me and I leave a simple offer sheet with the seller, then when I get back to the office I can scan/email the original P&S agreement over to the seller?

Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance.

@Mary Mitchell You have absolutely no clue about me or the types of homes that I buy or the sellers that I deal with. First of all I have had plenty of sellers that I referred to my business partner (who is a licensed agent) and she has listed their homes. And when some of those homes didnt sell after 60 days of being on the market with only low ball investor offers guess who those sellers called? Second the majority of the homes that I wholesale are water damaged, fire damaged, hoarder homes and cat lady homes that smell like cat urine. These are not homes that belong on the MLS. These are homes that sellers would be embarrassed to put on the MLS! I know its difficult to fathom but everyones primary motivation isnt money! Shocker! Even more of a shocker, there are some s***ty agents out there too and not everyone wants to deal with one. I certainly dont see agents telling people they could make the most money if they went FSBO and didnt use an agent at all.

I had a woman who was getting a divorce and she sold her home for next to nothing because she didnt want her ex husband to get half of what the house was worth! I offered her more and she negotiated down!

So I feel sorry for you and @John Thedford because your lives must be really miserable and empty if you spend all your time trolling BP to harass other people who are just trying to learn and ask questions. You guys are like parrots with limited vocabularies because you say EXACTLY the same things. Oh what if it was your grandmother? Thats ridiculous. No where in her question did she say how do I convince Grandma Jo to sell me her house for $20 and some denture cream. I would love to know how you guys make money in real estate, if either of you are actually in real estate, if you are over paying for your properties? Because apparently buying anything at a discount is a scam. Or is it only a scam when a wholesaler does it, but completely fine if an investor does the same thing? I dont know if you are aware of this but if you have ever bought a car, clothing, a cell phone or a piece of gum the company that sold it to you made a profit. Are they also scammers and frauds? It seems that by your logic anyone making a profit by selling something for more than they paid for it is committing fraud.
