I made an Offer
As I said at the end of my post yesterday, I was going to call up Caller #1 and make an offer. Having never done this before I was really unsure how to go about doing it, but after some deep thoughts I came up with a good strategy. First I wanted to sound like I was trying to get him the best price possible. I did this by apologizing for taking a few days to get back to him, but i …

Probate Monday #8 – Figuring Out Your Offer
Before I get started with I just wanted to post about my appointment with the home owner who called from my mailer. It went as well as I could have expected. Since it was really only the second “sellers” house I’ve visited I don’t have much to compare it too. I was an ass and forgot my camera so I only snapped one picture of the house with my phone. I got there a few minutes early so I …

The phone call went very quickly. Not much was really said as my goal was …
Has Fear Snuck Up On You?

It’s been two weeks since I wrote about sending the probate letters to my lead list and I had yet to do it. Why? To me it seemed like I had good reasons… Needed to put up crown molding in the office Thanksgiving Family Didn’t have the envelopes Didn’t have stamps Dentist appointment These are valid reasons right?
