Making Big Money In Pre-Foreclosures Using Direct Mail! (Part 4 of 4)
If no obligations, fees, or commissions has an appeal to you then give me a call. I would be happy to meet with you face-to-face and discuss the opportunities available to you so I can buy your house. I hope to hear from you soon.
Postcard #2 (Week #4)
Well, I can certainly understand if you do not want to sell that property for now. There may come a time down the line that you may decide to do something with it. I would only ask that you keep this card and that way you can give me a call when you're ready
Thanks for taking the time to listen to my offer to purchase just in case you know where to reach me if you decide to sell. Don't hesitate to give me a call if you have any questions and I do hope to hear back from you soon.
=================================
You can see by the above listed examples that my message is incremental and differing in nature. It’s just rare for the pre-foreclosure seller to call you on that first letter or postcard. You just have to put yourself in the “shoes” of the seller and know that if they are in pre-foreclosure then they are probably getting a LOT of mail from creditors. The possibility of the pre-foreclosure seller throwing some or all of your direct mail away is a given! Just know that now and expect it. However, all it takes is one phone call and one deal to see your next big payday dealing in pre-foreclosures.
A couple of points in wrapping up here:
1) On all your letters, stamp on the outside in red ink, “I Want To Buy This House!”. You can buy stamps like this at Office Depot or Staples costing you about $25. You write in the script you want and mail it to them with the custom stamp coming back to you in a couple of weeks. Before that potential foreclosure seller throws away your letter, they will at least read that red stamped message on the outside. I can’t tell you how many people have commented to me on that one technique was the reason they took the time to open my letter and thus call me.
2) Best success in direct mailing to pre-foreclosures is that you simply must mail to them more than once. I don’t have the time or patience to mark on my calendar or day planner when to write the next letter or postcard and that is where my custom direct mail software comes in. It knows the date I enter a contact and automatically calculates when the next scheduled mailing of letters and postcards due. I just have to remember to print my letter/postcards at least once a week and just keep pumping the leads into my database.
Hopefully by now you are at least a bit more educated about getting the elusive pre-foreclosure seller contacting you. Distinguish yourself from other investors with the frequency and content of your message and soon you’ll be able to, “Find All The Motivated Sellers You Can Handle!”.
