What has been your most useful techniques in obtaining expired listings?

Answer 1

Similar to the pervious response, but he seems to pushy, like a real estate agent, lol.

I would approach the vendor of the home and ask them if they would like to make an appointment to go through a marketing plan that you believe could acheive a better buyer enquiry rate on their property, have your statistics on hand to show them your good track record, offer than a guarantee of service with your agency that would include an opt out option on teh agency agreement if they are not happy with your service. Of course you are going to remind them that this is going to cost them nothing if you do not sell their property. Remember to always communicate with your vendor, provide feedback, even if you dont have any, always keep in touch. If the previous agent has the property overpriced, tell this to the vendor, and tell them how an overpriced stale property will not sell, it's just the other agent offering a high opinion to win the listing. The vendor will appreciate your honestly if you give him/her factual information about the market.
Just a few ideas for you to consider.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

Try the following Script, some Mike Ferry, some is my own..

Hi, I'm looking for MR. Seller (hi), this is Wilbur Henderson with X Realty, how are you today (Great) ( Awesome).....

I noticed your property is no longer in our MLS System, is it still available for sale? (more than likely they will say yes because it just expired)

You have a very attractive property, what do you think stopped your home from selling? (the Realtor) (you say Ouch!!!)

Were you in Escrow on a replacement property?

How soon did you have to be there? (Ouch)

How did you you happen to pick the last agent you listed with?

What type of activities did that agent do to sell your home? (he might say oh he did or he did nothing)

Mr. Seller, unfortunately it seems to me like you hired a passive agent, one who sets up the sign and expects another agent to bring a buyer, I myself am an active agent which means when you hire me to sell your home I will follow a detailed step by step marketing plan until I sell your home.

When would be the best time to show you my agressive marketing plan? Monday or Tuesday at 4?

If he says let me think about it, tell him I can absolutely do that but do you know why that concerns me? (why) Its concerns me because you might get tighed up in a month to month contract with a passive agent, lets do the right thing and schedule an appointment so I can show you what I do different to sell homes.

Again, when would be the best time to show you?

Having a blone,

You never provide that type of information up front, that information and your marketing plan is provided to them once you have secured and appointment. Silly you............

Answer 3

Dude, I am getting ready to quit my quite stable (and fruitful) day job, and go into a very uncertain real estate investing market - and even I don't quite understand what you are getting at. Explain please, I promise I will give you my best and most honest response.
