Before I run another ad in the paper, I'm thinking maybe I should try looking specificly for pre-foreclosures. The reasoning behind that being that times are pretty good around here right now and if people aren't desperate (i.e. mortgage collectors beating on their door) they can usually wait the 2-6 weeks to sell their home through a broker.

I'm not quite sure if I should run a generic ad like "little or no equity, call us." Or run an ad specificly for PFC's.

So, if I do the latter, what's the best ad to try? I liked the idea of using a headline like, "Foreclosure Stopped!" in the money to lend section, but what else should the ad say?

Thanks
Doug

Doug:
You're going to limit your market by running ads strictly for ONE type of seller. I would only run that ad IF you're placing several ads in the same paper.

I do run a "Behind in Your Payments?" ad...However, I have 5 other ads in the same paper.

I would recommend you run a more generic headline.
