Wording for leaflets through doors in our desired area

[Oblahdeeoblahdoe]

We're on the lookout for a new (to us) home but nothing is coming up in the area we want. I'm considering popping notes through the doors. Has anyone ever done this? Did it work and what did you say? I can't decide whether to make it bright and breezy or make it more formal. Any examples you've used or seen?

Everything is selling for tens and tens of thousands over the value here just now so I just think that the vast majority of sellers will want or need to get as much as they possibly can for their property and they’ll never know how much that could be unless they market it. And all it takes is for them to get one estate agent in to have a look to give them a rough idea and you’ll be completely out of luck anyway I imagine.

The extra money a seller could get atm by going to market will almost definitely vastly outweigh the 1% fee.

I think in more usual times it’s different and the whole saving 1% thing and it being less hassle is more likely to tempt people but most people atm especially those with onward purchases to consider will need to bleed their house dry.

Fun times trying to buy a house just now

Some people do it in our area and frankly, our neighbours and we really dislike it and would never call. It's a popular enough area that we don't need to bother with contacting anyone individually beforehand, houses often sell within 1-2 days. The reason why we dislike it is that we really do not like junk mail. It might be pet hate to some, but if you had tons of leaflets over a period of time, you just don't want more. We all have stickers on doors asking not to post unsolicited mail and it wouldn't go down well to ignore this tbh.

Besides, there will be people who are proceedable and are already registered with estate agents waiting to purchase in that area if it's that popular. Why do you think it's appropriate to jump the queue? I don't support this way of thinking at all.

I'm with *Purple * I receive these regularly and it adds to the enormous amount of junk mail.

Pisses me right off.

You could try putting a ad in the newspaper instead. Beware however it can and does fail.

I get these occasionally; I would be more inclined to take them seriously if they specified a price bracket that they were willing to pay.
