There is an army of salespeople standing by, ready to make your phone ring. Always available, dutifully talking to expired listings, potential sellers and buyers. Nothing can stop them: no spam filters, no Do Not-Call-Registry, not even a locked front door will prevent them from completing their mission.
Take command of your Direct Mail Army! Your expired listing… Continue reading

Today I received a expired listings sample letter from a very ambitious, hard working agent. He wanted my opinion…
