I follow up with a phone call, ONE phone call, two days later, a letter 4-5 days after that and a notice my offer no longer stands (worded more friendly with a slew of options for the seller to keep the opportunity open) a few days after that.Some sellers will just have second thoughts and choose to avoid the confrontation of directly turning you down.

It makes perfect sense, because you never know when someone will be confronted with one of these "life events". this also speaks to Dev Horn point, using direct mail and focusing on a small demographic on a consistent and persistent basis, of course you would be at the forefront of their mind when these events come up.

It will likely be a lot easier to solve your familiar problems than it would be to have to confront a whole new set of unfamiliar ones.......my two cents....

I only consider court because this guy was extremely confrontational, aggessive and a scammer and I hope to maybe slow him down from pulling this crap in the future.

If it's expediancy that your seeking, I would confront the agent with the forgery issue.

So I didn't know how to go about confronting the company about an interest in the property.

I'd just confront the tenant and say...

If you are okay with confrontation it is fine.

I also need to confront my greatest fear - technology (I'm techno-phobic).

Remember - they already made their mind up not to use a Realtor - so direct confrontation probably wont work!
