Hello, got your letter, I want to sell my house.How do you respond?

Yellow letters I know is all about the numbers.

Get a pre-approval loan letter and put it in with your offers if you have to.  

The fights over parking and towing of cars blocking driveways was awful. 

its a pretty typical REO Transaction, I was a Listing Broker for Fannie for years, the process has changed a bit, but the basics have not, dont send them an offer of 50% of list an expect them to accept, just not gona happen (in most cases) the closing can be slow, but most REO's are, and be sure the title company gets a special assessment letter, its often missed.

If you are going to be financing get a pre-approval letter that you can send a copy of it with your offers.  

I have been thinking of using a different name on my postcards and letters but that might be unethical?  

Yes, it takes work but you will be steps ahead of people who just mail letters and find sellers on Craigslist.Just my thoughts!

The original letter will come back with the person’s new address printed on a yellow label.

Some people will get upset no matter what you do, so why prolong getting to the point of your letter longer than necessary?
