Morning! I just recently started calling a few rounds of foreclosure leads, and I thought I was youst to the hostility from all the cold calling I have done, but the fragility and intensity of these situations seem like a different ball game to me, and I have been having a difficult time breaking through to get to meaningful conversations with these folk. If anyone has any tips or scripts they use that work for them specifically for connecting with these types of sellers in the first 30 seconds that would be awesome.

Anyone here found a good agent (bilingual) with a good network who understands the buyers we're looking for? Will be looking for a WRAP buyer for a property in Franklin Kentucky

A lot of deals don’t fall apart because of price or terms. They fall apart because commitment was assumed instead of confirmed. Before I ever send a contract, I want a very clear yes. I’ll ask something direct like: “So if I can get you your number, take over the payments, and get this closed in 14 days, you’d sell me the house today?” If they say yes, I’ll often follow it up with: “Are you sure?” That second question matters more than people realize. If there’s hesitation, a shift in tone, or objections starting to creep in, that’s not something to ignore and hope fixes itself after the contract goes out. That’s the moment to slow down and address it. Because once you send a contract without alignment, you’re setting yourself up to get ghosted or stalled. If it starts to feel like I’m pulling them back in, I’ll say something like: “I just want to make sure we’re fully aligned here. We can always go buy another house. I want to make sure this is actually helpful for you.” That removes pressure and shows you’re not desperate. Strong deals come from alignment, not urgency. And commitment should be clear before paperwork ever goes out.

Where do you feel the most stuck right now? Finding deals Running numbers Seller conversations Capital Confidence Follow-up Or something else? There’s no wrong answer here. Everyone gets stuck at different stages. Drop it in the comments so I can make sure the trainings and conversations in here are actually focused on what you need most. 👍🏼
