Marketing probates as an agent?
Hey gang,
So I'm just brainstorming here, but here's my situation: as a wholesaler I've been marketing to probates for a few months, about 150 pieces sent out, and 3 responses. Not bad. Wrote on one with a partner, they got a better offer however.
But now as I'm trying to get the ball rolling working in the 'on market' traditional real estate world, it occurs to me that I might be passing up a major opportunity here. While in 100 houses there might be a few who want to sell for cash and quickly, the majority are probably willing to take a little longer and sell the property for top dollar.
So, assuming you could do it professionally and offer all the affiliate services of clean out and contractors and whatever else they need, and, should the want a cash offer, you can ALSO offer this, it seems like a no brained.
However, I'm wondering if people think there is some violation of professional decorum in doing this? Or if any agent does it and does it successfully?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
JTM
