When you have a listing saturating the area with "Just Listed" postcards seems to be good as well as the "Just Sold" when you sell it.Some of it will depend on where you want your business to go (Retail listings, buyer agent, working with investors).

You will still have to wade through the responses to find the truely "motivated" sellers and get them to agree to the best deals, but you don't have to necessarily write 10000 yellow letters/post cards and knock on doors.

Familiarity.By not mailing them you are wasting a valuable advantage.Send them a postcard or letter just to let them know you are still around.

I wonder if some people actually call dominos, pizza hut or a maid service every time they get a post card in the mail.

(I will say that it was a real letter on nice paper, aimed at investors, not a yellow postcard) he was actually looking for a different type of property than mine but I ended up using his partner as my selling agent when I did finally sell.

Send them a letter or postcard stating you'd like to buy their house.

I want to send out "I buy houses" postcards once the BP members help me with the verbiage.

Hi I am planning on buying a code violations list in my city and sending out around 1000 postcards.

@Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner my literally multiple readers are yearning to see this picture of the stack of postcards I mailed last week!

If you send post cards, your budget should be about $500.
