Heck you can even send your business card as a photo to a cell.

Why not send the standard letter, trap cell number then send "I buy ugly" houses text.

Although the specific details will be written into the mortgage, so there may be cases where a creative method isn't covered.for example, here is an excerpt from a Fannie Mae link:Originally posted by Fannie Mae Ownership Transfers:...We consider each of the following situations to constitute a transfer of ownership: * Transfer of any interest in the property subject to the mortgage by sale, bequest, gift, or otherwise,* Assumption of the mortgage debt by the property purchaser,* Exchange of possession of property under a land sales contract or any other land trust device, and* Transfer of a beneficial interest in an inter vivos revocable trust (living trust) that owns the property....

The FOLLOW-UP is as important as the initial marketing.In the podcast this week, Jerry Puckett describes how he manages leads using a Google docs spreadsheet where the cells change color as it's time to place a follow-up call or send a personal note via email.

I'm on my cell phone so hopefully I found the updated one.

@Derek Gutekunst Hey Derek just my 2 cents but DM is dead at least in my market, maybe your market is difference but through direct mail it takes way too long to get the same results you would get from reaching out to the owner via cell phone.

The purpose of the lead generation device is to coax a prospect to contact you.

Primarily and longest, I´ve created a couple different spreadsheets that I can access and utilize from all my devices through Google Drive.

There are a host of other means for capturing sellers besides the MLS.I bet your cell phone is full of local contacts who know and love/like you...

You may even get a cell phone number to call the person, rather hoping they will respond to a letter.
