Mailing is a cowardly waste of time. Get on your horse and show up at their doorsteps.

why not use mail and show up in person! if you combine all of the "weapons" at your disposal you are more likley to win,
and remember knowing is half the battle.

Mailing is a cowardly waste of time. Get on your horse and show up at their doorsteps. That's EXACTLY WHAT I'm GOING TO DO. I am going to drive all the way to Yonkers, Farmingdale, & East Northport NY, Newark NJ, Jenkintown PA (burb of Philly) and all the other out of state and several hours away homeowners to relist their expired 2nd homes! What a brilliant idea! I can't wait till I find an expired whose owner lives in Hawaii!! It'll be a great business expense.  But how do I get into those pesky gated communities, that are created just to keep people like me OUT?

If I went to every expired and fsbo in my area, i'd need a horse. Just mail till they list or die.

Door knocking is the most aggressive approach. If you can't door knock, then call them. If you're in a very competitive market place with a lot of aggressive agents, your letter will lose 99% of the time. Why wait for them to contact you, go out and contact them.

Proper servicing of a listing requires many personal visits and you should be concentrating your efforts intensely on a small geographical area. And you should be personally contacting ALL fsbos and expireds within your service area personally and in living color, NOT by mailing. Mailing is OK for farms as a supplement to the real meat and potatoes of real estate - contacting and making clients out of people on a one-to-one physical basis. Mailing to fsbos is just plain stupid. Call, make an appointment, get in the damn house and lock up the listing. If you don't, I, (or someone just like me), will.

I hate cold calling but I have been doorknocking expireds in my area. I've been sticking to the ones that are either in my own town or that I've shown that are a little farther. It's a double plus when it's one I've shown that's near my house, then I can say hi remember me, I showed your house a couple of times, I noticed it's expired. I leave the car door open and the engine running and just tell them I can't stop now, I was just passing but would like to make an appointment to show them my marketing plan and leave them with a bio and some information about the company. It's pretty friendly in my neck of the woods, no one has shot at me or slammed the door in my face.  will end up with the listings, sooner or later. Others will spend their time licking stamps and watching HGTV.
