Approaching non-distressed owners to sell?

Hi guys! So I'm a Realtor, and work mostly with non-investor sellers and buyers. 

But I'm in a low inventory market, and I'm looking for a property for a personal purchase (my new primary residence) with very specific parameters. I need to go beyond the MLS to find what I need.

I have tools to help me identify properties that match my criteria, even if they've never been on the market. My question is: what's the best way to reach out to sellers who aren't distressed and have not indicated wanting to sell? I'm a serious buyer, I won't charge realtor fees, I'm pre-approved conventional and I have a flexible timeline. And I'm willing to pay full value. 

I'd like my communication to stand out, since I'm not a realtor trying to list their house or a wholesaler trying to assign a contract...
