Making offers as an agent

[Sean Faxon]

Hello all,

I'm a relatively new agent and hopeful investor. I would like to start making offers on properties I come across while farming (run down houses with equity, short sale potentials, etc.). As an agent I'm not sure the best way to go about this. Should I mail or knock and deliver a completed Residential Purchase Agreement (RPA) or a simpler one page offer. As an agent I feel like I should use the RPA but I don't want to intimidate a potential seller or come across as predatory if pursuing a short sale. Everyone's thoughts are appreciated!

Leave a hand written note on the door... "Please call me this is Sean"  get the owner curious.  If the owner address is different from the property address... go directly to the owners house.  

Also, when you leave messages on a phone, make it brief.  "hey this is your neighbor sean, call me when you have a chance."

Get them curious, get a personal connection and then peal the onion.
