I Have a Home Buyer! Do You Have Scottsdale Home to Sell?

I just wrote the wildest letter that I am mailing out to 44 home owners in the Scottsdale Country Club East community. Not wild for the content, but amazing to be writing it at this particular time in history, where headlines are more focused on what's wrong with real estate, rather than what's right. Having scoured the typical means of finding a home for my clients, I've now resorted to mailing the following letter in hand-addressed envelopes. I hope my phone to rings, at least a couple times. My clients are patient people, but they have been looking for a while. It's time to find them a home!

Dear <Potential Seller>,

I am working with a buyer who would like to purchase a 3 bedroom home in Scottsdale Country Club!
In these interesting times, it's quite unusual for a real estate agent to be writing a letter such as this, but my clients are ready to sell their current home in McCormick Ranch and move into a home on Scottsdale Country Club golf course, with less exterior maintenance. They do not need to sell their home to purchase and are cash buyers.
The buyers' requirements include three full bedrooms, no pool, and a view. If you are interested in selling your home at this time, I will need to make a short appointment to determine if your home and floor plan might work for their needs.
Thank you for your consideration and assistance in this home search for my clients. My mobile number is 602-524-3128, and my email is dru(at)click2az.com. If you are represented by a real estate agent, please have your agent call me directly, otherwise, I look forward to hearing from you soon to discuss the potential of selling your home to a ready, willing, able, and very interested buyer.
Sincerely,
Dru Bloomfield, REALTOR®, MS, MBA, CRS, GRI, ABR

I've personally received home buyer interest letters before, but it's been quite a few years. With housing inventory at an all time high here in the Phoenix Metro area, we still have highly desirable neighborhoods where buyers are waiting for homes to come on the market. Just another example of how localized real estate markets are!

Dru, Wow, Good luck, I hope you can find them a home there. It must be a wonderful place to live as it doesn't sound as if anyone wants to leave!

Carole - I got my first call from a home owner yesterday afternoon, after have only mailed out eight letters. I've been invited to visit, so we will see out it goes!

Dru: This is a pretty amazing idea. How cool, and what a great way to find a potential seller and a home for your buyer. I'll definitely keep that in mind since now a days it seems harder and harder to find that perfect home for my buyers even though there are so many from which to choose.

Teri,

Isn't that the truth! (About finding a home to match a buyer's wants and needs.) With the number of homes on the market, it does seem like it should be easier than it is to match up buyers and houses.

An update on the letter:

1. I received a call from an owner who had been renting his property and might be interested in selling it. The house did not have quite the view that the buyer was looking for.

2. I received a no-thank you email, from a newer homeowner who was not interested in selling.

3. I was reprimanded by another agent for trespassing on his farm area.

The buyer has decided to re-focus on the community that I met them in, so I hope that after the first of the year, we have at least one new listing that meets their needs.

Dru, good luck. It's kinda tough when they have "specific" musts on their list. I think that it's a great marketing idea though.

As for the agent that reprimanded you? Hellooooooooo! Just 'cause you farm an area doesn't mean you are the exclusive agent for that area.
