An agent in our community mailed a buyer letter for a client.
It resulted in a $1.5M listing.
If you’re going to use buyer letters in this market, they need to be structured correctly.
Here are 7 requirements:
Stats + story – Real market context + who the buyer is, how long they’ve been looking, and why this matters now.
Clear criteria – Deal breakers and wishlist. Make it easy for the homeowner to see the fit.
Scalpel, not hammer – 50–100 targeted homes, not 10,000 random doors.
Service positioning – Frame it as advocacy for your buyer, not an attempt to win a listing.
Specificity – Use the homeowner’s name, reference the street, mention similar homes toured. Avoid generic language.
Proof of readiness – Pre-approval, timeline, flexibility. Reduce uncertainty and risk.
Follow-up plan – Second touch via call, note, or door knock.
Everything gets easier when you can create your own inventory.
Let’s keep building,
Jimmy
