THANKS Posted by Greg CA on May 27, 2002 at 4:26 PM In Reply to: Return again the next day or so. posted by Ward-CA- on May 27, 2002 at 3:55 PM Thanks , This one has really been bothering me as I trek all over the county, wondering if I was wasting time by not leaving anything. Your suggested times make sense. When I did telemarketing we called mostly at two times of day. Evenings and Saturday mornings. I've been getting the results I mentioned doing evenings and weekend afternoons. Greg : : Ward, : : In about 50% of cases, either nobody is home or the owner himself is gone.

If they aren’t there when you stop by I would leave nothing. If you leave an offer without seeing the interiors it appears like you’re trying to steal the place. And a blank offer appears like you’re willing to pay anything for the property. : And I don’t think a letter can persuade someone better than you could face to face. So I’d leave nothing and start fresh later on, in person.
