Cold Calling?

Hi BP,

I just acquired a list of pre foreclosed homeowners and their phone numbers. I plan to cold call them today and need a little advice on what I should say. Since these homeowners are potentially sensitive about the subject of foreclosure, are their some things I should avoid asking over the phone? 

Thank you in advance .

@Ashley Swift For some home owners, this is a sensitive subject and some may still be in denial about their property going into foreclosure. Be prepared for the hostile rejections you will receive. 

As far as the start-up conversation, I would begin by introducing myself as an investor in the area, and you are looking to buy properties around the area. Then just ask if they are interested in selling their home. If they say yes, gather more info about the property and set-up a time to go view it. If they say no, thank them for their time, leave your name and number and let them know to call you if they are interested in the future.
