Letters to homeowners indicating we are interested in buying?

[Stanley Jones]

My team and I are looking to draft a letter to current home owners looking to engage them into a discussion concerning buying their property. We look to post these signs up on the front door of the home. Does anyone have an idea about how we should go about drafting this letter and what should be included? I'm pretty sure its more than just saying "hey we saw your house and are interested in buying it. Please give us a call". How do I express in words urgency and a time frame for wanting to get a deal done? What else needs to be included? How long should it be? Should it be brief or a bit more personal?
