HELP. . .I ordered a list from listsource to market to pre-foreclosures and received several angry calls saying they are not in foreclosure. Where can I get a decent updated list? I have not received any responses from the list yet and I am on my third letter. :banghead
There is a site called defaultresearch.com that has lis pendings filings. That might be a good source for you… we used to use them back in the day, not sure if that’s of any help but I gave it a run.
from what I’ve read around the boards, it’s quite common to get these calls. Either the person doesn’t realize they are in the foreclosure process (denial) or they recently settled up with the bank. It’s part of the game, just simple take them off of your list for your next mailing.
Some people do not know they are in foreclosure… that doesn’t mean the list is clean, but just an idea.
It is best to get such list locally. See if any local investor type service offers foreclosure leads. They tend to get you the list as it comes out. National companies can lag behind due to the time it takes to collect, compile, and distribute the lists.
Angry calls are normal, but if you are getting too many of them, you must be rubbing ithe fact they are in foreclosure in their face. Look at the content of your mailings and see if it is offending them, or if it is powerful enough to make them want to do business with you.
Thank you guys for the feedback. I recently revised my letters and I will attempt to resend again. :bobble
