I received a call today stating that they just received a EXPIRED LISTING postcard from me. Apparently, the postcard went to the owners new address (which came directly from the Auditor's PUBLIC records.)
The lady stated that they were selling the home for their sister who is to know nothing about the sale. However, she said her sister received my postcard and some from other agents as well and it's upsetting the sister/owner tremendously. Again, I was told the "sister" was not to know anything about the sale of the home. I was asked to remove them from my mailing list.
I informed the caller that I sent the card because their listing had expired and I wanted to help. I was informed that their home was on the market, had NEVER expired and that I could call their agent to show it, but again "take me off your list".
I checked the MLS records and the listing expireds 3/1/07 and has NOT been relisted. Obviously the caller was completely unaware the listing had expired.
Do your sellers know what you're doing? Do all parties involved know what's going on?
