Remind me to post details of the best letter my relative received, personally delivered by the agent. In it was a contract of sale, price, terms and conditions. It was fantastic. relative said he would not sell for even 10mil and he meant it...sometimes, money cannot buy a person.

This is the best most powerful letter drop that I have ever seen, even better than the hand written ones. My relative gets letters all the time but this one stands apart....I have cut paragraphs out but you get the gist Dear the home owner I am writing on behalf of one of my clients who which to relocate back to your area. They have shown a genuine interest in your property and are willing to pay top premium price. My client has instructed me to make an offer on their behalf making full aware to yourself the vendor that all aspects of the offer are negiotable as they would like a content result for all included. PROPERTY xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PRICE x,xxx,xxx SETTLEMENT 1-3 months or up to 24 months or whatever you prefer that suits both you and your family. DEPOSIT 10% for short settlement or 20% for long settlement, xxx,xxx which my client is pleased to release immediately at vendors request SUBJECT to pest and building inspection OFFER VALID 7 days.... We understand and respect your property has been in the family a very long time and respect etc.................... Honestly, this had impct this letter but my relative will never sell as his father built this home. Anyway, I hope this has given you some ideas ( dont forget I have cut out many bits) Mrs B Re: Thinking of doing a letterbox drop to buy a house 19May 18, 2008 7:26 pm In the end, offering over the market price will get you what you want. And even then, a smarter vendor would use your offer to possibly leverage a better outcome for themselves. I can only imagine this approach working in select low turnover suburbs.
A relative of mine has sold his "dream home .....for the rest of his life....." 4 times in the last ten years. That's four different homes that he has been lucky to find somebody to pay 100-300K more than what he paid. Low interest rates and a booming market were the secret ingredients. Drove his Wife mad.

I am looking to do a letter drop and am targeting an older home on a larger block for a knockdown/rebuild. A few questions I'd like to ask: 1. Should I state a price. I can give an accurate price. I am not chasing a bargain and by offering at or slightly above market value I believe this would gain interest. 2. Should I use an agent or go on my own. Individual = personal, agent = professional. If I was approaching the vendor through an agent, what agent fees would they even have if any? 3. Should I include a picture of me and my partner. We are private people. I get the sentiment, but does it make any difference. 4. Should I get a solicitor to draw up the letter? Or just wait to involve them when I have a keen seller. 5. Should I track down the details of landlords and mail the letter to them? Or is this a privacy invasion, and I suppose investors already have their own plans. Any advice is welcomed and much appreciated.
