Out of State Realtors not Responding

Greetings all,

Hoping someone can give me some insight. I'm a newer investor (1 property) looking to buy my first OOS state property. The realtors I've contacted so far have not been very responsive. What's going on and what can I do differently?

Much thanks.

@Jesse Stein

What type of message are you leaving with them. If you’re throwing out red flags in your message, they are less likely to call you back.

Are you pre-approved? Do you know what you want? Are you ready to buy?

Example good message:

Hi,

This is Jesse. I found your information on [referral source]. I am pre-approved for $x and want to buy a [property type] in [location] in the next [short timeframe]. Please give me a call back at 123-456-7890 when it is a good time to talk. Again, it’s Jesse at 123-456-7890. Talk to you soon.
