OfflineI know alot of you new people out there are probably asking: How do I tell the seller that I will not be the one buying their property?
Here is what I do in my emails because all of my marketing is currently online.
"Hello (Sellers Name), Quad City Home Buyers here.
First of all I wan't to thank you for calling me and allowing me to do the best job I can to get your home sold for you.
I want to let you know that I am NOT a realtor and I will NOT be charging you any comission to get your home sold.
I am a local investor from Aledo, Illinois and I focus on helping Motivated Quad City homeowners get their homes sold very quickly for cash, even if they need repair.
I am not the actual buyer, I provide a service to other investor buyers in the area buy contacting homeowners like yourself, assessing your situation, assessing the value of your home and the repairs needed to bring it back to pristine condition, and then making you a fair cash offer for your home based on my findings.
The purchase agreements I use are approved in all 50 U.S states and yes you still do have the right to seek legal council to have them reviewed prior to signing them.
The contract I use has an assignability clause built into it which allows me to do all of the legwork for my buyers and then assign the contract to them and allow them to make the final closing with you.
I disclose all of this information up front with each seller so that you are not surprised when you go to closing and I am not the person buying your property.
I am proud to let you know that CASH buyers are NOT a scam and they WILL NOT rip you off, I am in the business of providing a service to you the homeowner and to my cash investor buyers.
We are here to help you, not hurt you and I will be fair and honest in everything I do.
The goal of every transaction I complete is to make a WIN WIN WIN situation for all 3 parties involved.
If any of the details will not work for all 3 parties, they will either be re-negotiated or the deal will be called off.
I am in the business of referrals and I would like a good referal from you when the transation is complete so I will never do anything to ruin our relationship.
I have attached a short Questionaire that I need you to fill out to get my process started.
After this is filled out and returned I will contact you with further questions and details.
Thank you for your time!

Very well put!
Helps answer the question "How does this work?", that I get all the time! I find that some sellers still think you are the one buying, no matter what you tell them. They get leery when they find out you're not.
Thanks for sharing. I know this will help many; myself included.

Thank you for both the letter and the lead sheet. I will use them in my business, too.

I was scared. But, I did it anyway. The best part is listening. And, this is a great script. I have a few motivated sellers to call in a few minutes and I will use this script and see how it goes. Thanks for this great info!
That's 100% integrity.. Awesome post!
Maurice,
thanks for the information. this is a great post.
what is they are excited to work with you and want to sell their house. What paperwork/contract do you use.
Can you share the contract that you use that can be used in all 50 states?
Thanks,
Haim

Agreement To Purchase

Hopefully this will take some of the fear out of dealing with sellers for me. I must say I am procrastinating strickly from fear of dealing with sellers and buyers and not knowing how to convince them that I am trying to create a Win Win situation for all. I believe your letter states it pretty clearly and takes all the quess work out of it. Thanks again!
Don't try to convince them. We are here to help them. Ask questions and listen to their problems. Just push yourself to do it. The only way to get over fear is to take it head on. Do everything you fear. You will grow once you do so. Take about 30 minutes and check out this video by Earl Nightingale. He's a great guy. Napoleon Hill, the author of Think And Grow Rich pass the torch to him. Check out the link below, its a 30 minute message that will inspire and motivate you. Try it, we have nothing to loose, we can only gain from it!

What's the success ratio of using this strategy?
Best letter yet!!love the honesty and transparecy
For thou, O God, has proved us thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net, thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou has caused men to ride over our heads, we went through fire, and through water, but thou broughtest us out into a WEALTHY PLACE. Psalms 66:10-12
