Voice Mail Script
Here is the voice mail for sellers script that we talked about in the podcast. This came from David Alexander’s excellent site – www.BanditSigns.com
Hello and thanks for calling!
You know, buying houses from people like you is something I’ve been doing for quite a few years now, and in that time, as I’ve bought lots and lots of property, I’ve learned a few things along the way to make the selling process SIMPLE, EASY and PAINLESS. If you need to sell quickly, but don’t want to deal with a lot of closing costs, possibly you’ve been transferred OR are staring at SOME of life’s other crazy problems, you might not have much equity, or maybe you even OWE more than the house is worth, you know what? There ARE things we can do to get you squared away, and if the numbers are right – Yes, I can write you a check for your equity TODAY. It probably won’t be a big check, but it’s likely to be enough to get to where you’re going, whatever your situation might be.
Now I can really only work with people who want to get things taken care of immediately, so if you’re calling because you’re just kinda curious about the Ad or Sign, and really DON’T have a real estate problem, then about all I can do is wish you the best of luck with your property, but if you need an immediate sale, leave your name and number, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. On the other hand, if you ABSOLUTELY want this property out of your life TODAY because you’ve decided to move on, then give me a call on my cell phone. You can reach me at __________. I only give that number out to folks who want me to drop everything, swing by and write up an offer that works for the both of us on the spot, so if you’re ready to get your place SOLD today, just say the word. AGAIN that number is __________, and my name is _____.
I look forward to hearing from you, thanks.
Ok, pretty good podcast. I see why Brian forgot the website he uses for leads, He is selling that information.
Cool
Kevin – no, he’s not selling it.
Joe
Brian mentioned about a software he uses to get information off the craiglist, any chance you will put that information up?
Thank you ahead of time for all the great content!!!
I think you can find the product at http://www.InvestorClassifieds.com (I think…)
Joe
Thanks Joe for the reply, but I was thinking more of the craigslist scraper software. He had mentioned that he would tell you guys and if you guys wanted to then you can add it to the show notes.
Thanks again for all you do and God Bless!!!
I had the same question. Thanks, Joe and Brian. Excellent podcast.
Actually, I looked there. I don’t see anything about software used to automate Craigslist searching. Your help would be appreciated. This is an integral part of my business plan.
Thanks.
Hart Hagan
I think this may be it.

It’s called Craigslist Automation Software. On a subscription basis it’s about $5 a month or $30 per year.
Thank you for an awesome podcast! I will be downloading more into my Andriod. Thanks Brian for all the free info and tips. Thanks Joe and Alex for putting this podcast together.
Our pleasure, Kim! (Have you left a review in iTunes yet?) 🙂
Brian mentioned the software he uses for automatically searching craigslist for sellers based on keyword. Did he end up relaying the link to you guys? Thanks!
Take a look at Brian’s website. You will see a link to it there… http://www.BrianHaskins.com. I think under his “products” page or “recommended links”.
Joe,
I looked there and could not find it.
Thanks.

How does cubixsolutions compare to craigslist Autoreplier?
don’t know
Joe,
I am a new investor in Miami, Florida. I love your podcast because you guys offer valuable information for free and great advises.
I don’t have a letter or post-card message yet. If you can send me a couple of templates for Probate, absentee owners, pre-foreclosure, or divorce(tenants in common).
I will truly appreciated. webuymiamihouses@gmail.com
To answer the Craigslist Scraper app: I've done a bit of research on this and found that Brian Haskins endorses http://ultimaterealestateleadsystem.com/ which I think is a bit pricey. In contrast, I found in my searching several that no longer exist (dead links) but did find http://freshqualifiedleads.com/ultimate-scraper-pro-2-0-software/ which seems to cover all the bases for a one-time charge rather than monthly. In addition, the latter has built in proxy protection which would cost somewhere around $6-11/mo to have a VPN service. I don't work for nor have I purchased / used either so hopefully that will help someone.
