As one who has been through pre foreclosure, I can tell you that your approach will probably get you a hang up. Luckily I was able to get through this on my own, but I did hang up on many who called. To me, they were "vultures"... even though you are not a vulture,that is the mindset of those who are in such financial difficulties. After all the "tricks" of debt collectors, people in pre foreclosure are suspect of anyone who calls. Do not ask "what can I do for you"... TELL them what you can do. Do not ask for personal information. Do not ask for financial information. Just don't ask. You have all the info you need. They are in trouble and you can help them. TELL them that first. Explain what you can do to help them KEEP their house...or buy their house and give them an extra ten grand after the bank is paid off. They aren't stupid, they want the facts. Do not start your conversation with questioning them, start your conversation with how you can help them, and be specific. Hope this helps
In California, if you do or say any of the suggestions above, I'd highly recommend also providing them with a copy of your California Foreclosure Consultant State License, which would be required.
How do I become a California Foreclosure Consultant?

How so? They'll eventually become probates and published information.

@Sharon Vornholt @Rick H. @Mark Pedroza I'm finding a lot of properties where the spouse has died and the other spouse still lives in the house. What do you do in that case? I don't want to assume they will still live there, but they probably will, especially if they have been there since the 70s, 80s, 90s etc...
Also, what happens if both the husband and wife are on the title (or two people and one is the PR)? Are there some cases where they still may have to sell? If so, how do I go about finding that out?
Should I just send them letters anyway? Or should I keep it as a later lead?
What do you all do?
Thanks!

I grew up in inglewood and last week I joined a facebook group for Inglewood. Let's just say I was shocked that there has been a shooting every day for the past week. Only shocked because I thought Iwood(haha) had changed. The best bet to see what's really going on is to join a group like that for the area.
