Do you have a home buyer?  Congratulations!

That means that you have a great reason to make some phone calls.  I always ask my buyer to drive around in the neighborhood that they like best and write down all the homes address that they like (not listed).  I then call all these homes owners.  I tell them about my buyer and our situation and ask them if they have thought about selling their home.

You'd be surprised how many will consider it

I've done that.  It works.

That's how I ended up buying the house I'm in now.

Hey Brian:

I have heard of that and some will truly consider it. Amazing!!

To Lorrie's point, I would drop notes (pre-printed) at homes I would love to live in on walks in our neighborhood.

If the price is right, anything is for sale.  With the amount of homes on the market currently, I don't see doing this in the near term.

I have thought about doing this for a buyer who hasn't found the "right" house yet. I'm getting so desperate I may actually do it.

I personally have done this, it has never generated any business for me nor worked for past clients (on several occasions I have tried), but I've heard of others that this has worked for.

I think it's the luck of the draw.
