[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

So they just randomly litter people's mailboxes with trash? How rude. (And illegal by the way, unless they mail the letters by USPS.)[/quote]

NP.  [b]Ok, so put the flier in the door, not the mailbox.[/b] ?
Personally, I wouldn't find it rude, I would be flattered/excited that my area is so in demand.  I'd probably play the market as a seller, but I could see a case for those that wouldn't (older people, dated home, no-hassle folks).[/quote]

So you litter their porch? Or their yard, since these often blow away? Seriously, if you are going to do this with any hope for success, at least try to find out if the owners might be the type of people who might be interested in this (i.e. older, have owned the home for a long time, haven't renovated recently, etc.). If there are strollers on the porch and the house sold three years ago, don't do it.[/quote]

oh god shut uppppppp. you're such a closeminded loser. and PS a home like this just sold in my neighborhood![/quote]
