I sent out 600 letters to FSBOs and FRBOs in three weeks. No calls. Is this method worth continuing?

Why aren’t you picking up the phone and calling them? What are you offering to do for them?

That surprises me… I sent out 200 my first week and got about 20 calls…using “kaiser” method.

Scott Rister sells another course which I use and he says you should average about 10%…response

FYI…joe’s course which you need to buy…tells you how to do this…and for the cost it took you to mail 600 you probably could have bought his course.

What type of letters did you send out and could I possibly have a copy of one example.

Thanks,
Patricia

Direct mail is an inexpenseive way to reach potential deals. Most FSBO’s and FRBO’s are not motivated and you shouldn’t expect widespread response. It’s still cheap, you may find a deal this way. I found one deal in the first 10 letters I ever mailed, but no deals since. One lady called me several weeks after I mailed her. In this case a deal still hasn’t been worked out, but the message is that some sellers will hold onto these letters and may call several weeks later after trying other methods.

What does you letter say?
