sending letters and postcards, and getting little response?

[James Barnhart]

I get about 8 to 10 cards every week, asking to buy my house.  I notice that they ALL have the same message. 

1. will buy it in any condition, no need to make repairs.

2. can close in 2 weeks

3. cash offer!

This could get people that are broke to bite, but it doesn't appeal to many of us.  I have properties in nice condition and I am not in financial difficulty.  Who cares if you can close in 2 weeks? 

What message could you put in a letter that might get the attention of most of us?  I think that it's time to talk to some potential buyers and ask them what might get them to sell.  I would love to hear your answers.  It's time to change your approach. 

I have some ideas, but I want to hear from the letter and card senders, please.
