Client shouldn't care about whether they work through an agent or not as long as the deal hits their parameters.If they were trying something shady or illegal I could see them not wanting to use an agent.Not saying you to use an agent or that if you don't you are shady.Simply saying if it's a deal it's a deal to purchase.Almost all residential REO is listed through a broker/agent.The banks/servicers do not have the manpower to market themselves.We do not have a public record in Georgia as you stated.Most foreclosures are non-judicial here.1.The attorneys are simply the foreclosure attorneys foreclosing on the property.Until it's foreclosed on the bank can only sell the note if they want to.All other approval would have to have the owner go along with it as well.2.Courthouse steps in Georgia is the first Tuesday of every month.These sales are ALL CASH sales if you want to buy.The bank will give the attorney a minimum bid to start at and if nobody bids or the bank bids it up the bank will take back to sell REO.Many properties slated for sale on Tuesday will get pulled for BK filings or loan mod workouts.You can get the minimum reserve bids by calling the attorneys office and giving the case number usually 2 weeks before the courthouse steps sale date.3.You can do this and will find people in pre-foreclosure.It all really depends on what this investor wants to do.Are they buying to rent it out,rehab and flip,assign it (wholesaling).They first need to define what they are trying to do and define a marketing plan around it to generate leads.good luck

I just buy a few paper cheapies (pack of 3) from the big box store and leave them next to the furnace.

I hand wright all my envelopes.Actually my wife hand write them because I have doctor's handwriting.My results have been phenomenal.I believe in the techno world many sellers especially ones who do not use technology find old forms of communicating refreshing and respond well to them.Junk mail used to be in the mail box and now it is on the internet instead.I have had people tell me they look more forward to getting mail now.

In Firefox the emoticons overlap the "reply to post" box while I'm typing this reply.

I see double taps in about 10-20% of all panel boxes.

There is always someone thinking outside the box.

Oh yeah, you will rap that title in a box with a golden bow and deliver it to my door with fresh baked cookies and christmas carolers!

Side bar... if the property is a long way off, just give then the lock box code and let them keep the box.

They lived together last year but only provided the landlord's first name and telephone number, mailing address is P.O Box. they told me it's a property management contact info and they only know the person by first name.

I guess someone is really doing some out-of-box thinking with marketing like this.
