Quote from @Brandon Vukelich:
Yes. three reasons, IMO. 1) Property owners are SLAMMED with marketing by real estate agents and wholesalers. I receive postcards, letters and text messages on my personal residence and other rental properties. 2) I have no doubt that more and more owners read/hear the news about the hot market, high prices, etc. Why sell off-market if you can typically net more by publicly listing? 3) As Scott said, I have many conversations with sellers about their property values and they say the same thing, "Great, but then where do I go? What do I buy?"
I follow a bunch of other local wholesalers and they send me their deals. I've noticed less and less deals in the hot Seattle-Tacoma markets and a lot more in obscure, smaller towns in our area. Probably sellers that are less "in the know" about their options.
1.) This point was spot on with the marketing. There's so much marketing going out that to truly get someone to raise their hand it must be good timing for that homeowner. I like your response!
