Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has experience contacting a seller that has recently taken their house off the market? I noticed that there was a duplex for sale for nearly a year and it was recently taken down. It hasn't sold, and I was thinking about contacting the seller to see if they might consider seller financing or a significantly lower purchase price. Any suggestions. I see the PO box on the Assessor's site...
I did contact the listing agent of that off market listing. I asked him whether the seller is still motivated to sell. If yes, then schedule a time to see the house. One good thing about this is if you ever decide to make an offer, nobody will compete with you because it is no longer in the market. It really depends on what the seller what to do.
Thanks for the tips @Billy Au-Yeung. Unfortunately, the listing has been taken down so I can't find the listing agent (and I don't believe they are still under contract). I was thinking I would just send a letter to the owner directly...
