PROGRAM 3648???

I just joined a month ago.  The short sale materials look good.  I received 150 "60 days past due" mortgage mailing list leads, very few with phone numbers.  I mailed them a yellow letter (per Program 3648 suggestion) and got 1 non-interested telephone response and about 20 returned mail pieces.  Still not sure of the integrity of the mailing list.  Each month they send you 150 names to contact as part of the program.  No doubt it's a numbers game.  Going to re-mail the 1st list with something more informative on the short sale process. 

My personal goal is to find short sale candidates, but hopefully find candidates that want to explore the loan modification path first (probably a 1 month process) and then slide into a short sale as most cannot modify.  This process allows us to be the hero and help them out of a bad situation.

Essentially, Program 3648 is a central processing system to negotiate short sales and we are their agent farm.  They offer minimal education on the short sale process for agents.  I suggest getting the CDPE designation.

I have been in search of ways to generate short sale leads.  If you have any other ideas, I would be most interested.
