Is trying to find house via flyerinf embarrassing?

[redshoes22]

We’re under offer and there are no houses for sale in our area.

I’m considering flyering but we live in a small town and want to stay in the same neighbourhood. The thought makes me cringe, like I’m sending begging letters and intruding. But I’m so desperate to find something nice, but can’t bear to look desperate to my neighbours 🙈😅

Have you filtered before. How long did it take you to get replies. Did anyone get annoyed with you for intruding on their privacy? Can you sign off with alias? 😬 which group do you think are most likely to sell?

I got a reply from my one letter! 😊 a pleasant lady saying that the house is in probate and no idea how long things will take but probably longer than we’d want to wait and that she would have to go through estate agent anyway (garden beds sorting/ boxes to clear etc) It’s a great house, should I follow up with message? Massively encouraged to send more letters now because she was happy rather than offended by my letter. Absolutely no houses on the market still, it’s driving me nutty 😩 it’s nice to feel proactive
