"We buy houses" ad?

Question

I would like to know how I could word an ad for online sites, the paper, etc., that would attract motivated sellers while conveying the fact that we only buy at a discount since obliviously I wouldn't want motivated sellers calling expecting to sell at market value or motivated sellers calling and being shocked and offended when I offer 50-70% market value.

Try to post on classified ads or directories for your "we buy houses" advertisement. Some websites are paid and some are free of charge. And the advantage is online users/potential sellers can get in touch with you asap.

When it comes to newspaper articles my suggestion would be to keep it simple WE Buy Houses. When potential clients call  ask them the general questions, What is the ARV, what is the estimated repair cost, bed rooms, baths , basement, how much do you owe on the home, is it free and clear? These questions will help determine if the deal is profitable for you or not. If you put all this in a newspaper article you will pay quite a bit. Keep it simple with you news paper articles, bandit signs and fliers. Let your clients get to know you, and build a business relationship with them . hope this helps.
