Based on member requests, RealtyTrac has updated its postcard process to give you more choice and flexibility when sending postcards to homeowners in pre-foreclosure. The new postcard system features a broader selection of postcards, plus the ability to send and schedule multiple postcards in sequence. In addition to these improvements, RealtyTrac members can now track all scheduled and sent postcards in one place.

Here’s a synopsis of the new postcard features:

•    12 new pre-written postcards to choose from or customize.
•    The option to send multiple postcards to a homeowner.
•    Scheduling feature to send postcards over a given time period.
•    A new "save favorites" feature to expedite the setup process. 
•    Tracking feature showing all scheduled and sent postcards.

This new postcard process will allow members to create effective direct mail campaigns rather than simply sending a single postcard and hoping for the best. But it doesn’t eliminate the follow-up or leg work involved in buying pre-foreclosure. Before you send postcards to a homeowner in foreclosure, it’s always a good idea to do some research to make sure that the property is still in foreclosure and that the investment potential justifies making contact with the owner in the first place.
