I have been feeling beat down calling FSBO's, so I have been mailing a flyer to expired's and following up with a call. Any advice on an opening line? Anyone having luck with these?? I am still pretty green and looking for a good solid plan. Thanks,
Jennifer

Thanks Borino! What a nice gesture to share your information.

"Expired Listings?"

best business in the business.

reasons they are great.

they have found out that their way does not work and are often very open to listen to a competent agent tell them what they need to do to sell

you dont have to explain how a lockbox works

the competition taht you go up against gives you the opportunity to really, really shine

expireds are an easy business to be able to implement systems so that you will always have leads, appointments, clients and closings.

i could go on and on

forgot to add, you already know they will pay a commission.

Hello Borino!

I wish that we could market to expired listings!!

why cant you work expireds?

It's illegal here due to privacy laws.

MHT,

please answer so that i have clarification.


if there is a street with 10 homes and 1 is listed for sale and the listing expires, then you choose to send a letter to the 10 homes that are on that street, would you have to exclude the listing that was expired because you cannot market to them?

now, if you have 10 homes on the street and all 10 expire, are you allowed to market to that street?

if you have 10 homes on teh street and all 10 expire and you see 1 that you would like to sell, are you allowed to market to that 1 particular home?


if you have a street with **no**homes for sale that have never been on the market since a builder, built and sold them (all are original owners) can you target a specific home in your marketing if you wnat to become their agent?
