[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can always put letters in the mailboxes of the neighborhoods you're targeting.

"Greetings! We're a family of four who loves this neighborhood and are hoping to buy a house here. If you have been planning or considering selling, please contact me at larla.jane@gmail.com to see if we can work something out. We may even save the 6% agents' fees."[/quote]

Does this actually work?
I've thought about doing this it then I think I look like a stalker. Plus, in this market, wouldn't you rather take your chances with a bidding war than selling to some weird, stalker family?

(Sorry if I'm negative, I'm nervous)[/quote]

I have gotten such letters (we are in a low inventory, fast selling NWDC neighborhood), and I did find them a bit weird. [b]For one, we only bought a few years ago, so it's kind of unlikely we are already planning to sell, [/b]and secondly, currently many houses around here get bid up like crazy, and I would want to know what the highest bid for our house is. So I think you have the right intuition if you are looking in a really hot market.[/quote]

You realize that people were just putting letters out to everyone, and not doing research on who bought when and trying to decide if enough time had passed that they might like to sell now?[/quote]

This. Some of you are incredibly self-absorbed.[/quote]
