There are a number of inexpensive ways to capture callers info.

It's normal for callers to first ask for the moon & the stars (read: wayy above market value).

I'm curious if anybody has a script for cold calling or a questionaire for screening the callers who have resonded to your marketing.

No income, no job, 38 accounts in collection, multiple evictions, drug convictions, pit-bulls, 6 roomates none with jobs..... nobody you can rent to in that lot.This winter, the callers are practically non-existant and the majority of them are telling me they only want a place for about 6 months because they are planning on buying.

Creating and maintaining your buyers list is just as important and just as hard as getting motivated callers to call you.

I chose to have the caller's message go directly to voicemail.

So if you are getting callers on an ad for a $450 house, they can't afford $550.If, by any chance, they actually do move in at $550, they are already ticked off at you because it appears to them that you lied to them about the rent, and you are taking advantage of them becasue they are poor.

I think you both need better tenants, we just don't have these types of problems very often.I already eliminate 95% of all interested callers/applicants through our screening (most on the phone).

Picture a call center with dozens of callers answering the phones.

s Lower Mainland have joined the flood of callers to a U.S. consumer group investigating Chinese drywall that has allegedly begun to sicken North Americans.Thomas Martin, president of America's Watchdog, says that in the past two weeks about a dozen Lower Mainland callers have all reported experiencing the same nose bleeds, breathing problems and allergy-type symptoms that have affectedhomeowners across the U.S.Continued exposure could result in severe health problems, the group says."
