[quote=Anonymous]We've targeted several neighborhoods in the town (DC suburb) we want to live in. We can afford the size house we want. We really, really want to go under contract in the next 6 months. I can see a scenario where we compromise on a house, buying a smaller house that needs a bump out and kitchen gut job, etc, and then one of the homes we'd prefer comes on the market a week later. Our realtor suggested writing letters to prospective sellers. I know it only takes one, but how many homes should we include in the list? Only homes where owners have been there 20+ years? 30+ years? Original owners only? What if we don't know the floorplan, only the square footage? Any sense of "don't bother unless you have 20 homes on your list" or "don't bother unless you have 100 homes on your list"? Do you know anyone who has had success with this? Any stories to share?[/quote]
