Direct mail to owners of properties listed on auction. Com
In my area all the courthouse steps auctions are listed on Auction.com. Having attended a couple of the auctions I see that almost none come up for actual live auction. Has anyone tried contacting the owners of these properties before the auction date to offer them a fast cash sale?
