But if I were going to set out to do it, I would do this (or have an assistant do this):* Scan Craigslist Leads* Scan leads from other local newspaper* Scan leads from FSBO magazines at the grocery store, etc* Put them all in a spreadsheet or Highrise* Search all their numbers on whitepages.com* Search them all on the do not call list--cross off those who are, because it's still soliciting even if you're not selling something* Call them all 3 times until you get a live person on the phone* Pre-screen live answers and work the dealI would probably call 200-300 numbers as a decent test and then compare:* The time it took* Any costs involved* what % of sellers were motivated* Ask if it's worth it and proceed if it is
