Dear [NAME],

This is an excellent time to purchase your first home.  The slow real estate market we are currently experiencing means first-time homebuyers have a large inventory from which to select.  An even bigger advantage for buyers is the lower pricing!

Before you select a [REALTOR®, AGENT, BROKER] to assist you in the purchase of your first home, be sure you are working with someone you can trust with this important decision.

I have many years experience working with first-time homebuyers and would like to offer my services to you.  These services include not only finding the ideal home, but also confirming the fair market value and best price for that home before you make an offer to purchase.  I will be by your side through the entire home buying process.  My goal is to ensure your first-time home purchase is a pleasant, exciting, and stress-free experience.

I enjoy working with first-time homebuyers, and would consider working with you to be an honor and a privilege.  You have my word that I will always be available to answers any questions and address any concerns that may develop.

You can reach me by phone at [PHONE] or by email at [EMAIL].  You may also view my Web site at [WEB ADDRESS] for additional information on the services I provide first-time homebuyers.

Sincerely,

Dear [NAME],

I noticed that the listing for your property expired recently and I was a little disappointed for you.  Let me take a moment to explain why.

Selling one of your most valuable assets is a big decision and one that calls for the assistance of a well-seasoned professional.  I have several properties listed in your area and I know that each one of my clients has high expectations for a successful marketing strategy that will lead to the sale of their property.

As a [REALTOR®, AGENT, BROKER], I invest much of my time seeking ways to add value to the sale of your home.  Marketing an investment such as yours requires far more than adding a listing and sticking a sign on the lawn.  The [REALTOR®, AGENT, BROKER] that you select should present you, the client, with a well designed marketing strategy that will help ensure that your plan goes smoothly.

I reviewed your previous listing and have driven by your property.  I would like to meet to discuss the sale process with you.  I feel certain that I can offer several options that will enhance the marketability of your home should you choose to renew your listing with me.

Please contact me soon.  We can work together to provide you with a solution-based marketing strategy that will produce the results you hoped to achieve when you initially listed your property for sale.

I can assure that the time we invest together will be productive and that my expertise and experience will be of great benefit to you.  I have a proven track record as a seasoned [REALTOR®, AGENT, BROKER] and have closed many properties in your area, when others failed to achieve the results previously promised their clients.

I look forward to hearing from you.  You may contact me on my cell phone at [PHONE] to arrange a convenient meeting time.

Sincerely,



[NAME]

Dear [NAME],

I just wanted to let you know that I've been thinking of you lately and realize these past few [DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS] haven't been the best of times for you.  Life can certainly seem to have its share of ups and downs.

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts, praying for your strength and wisdom, and wishing that you'll be back in high spirits again soon.

Use Flowers To Add Color To Your Home

Flowers are used for many purposes, including landscaping, weddings, gifts and even to decorate the interior of your home.  Because they are colorful, beautiful and an affordable way to decorate, flowers can help bring an otherwise dull room to life.

Silk vs. Real

Whether or not you choose to decorate your home with real or silk flowers is a personal decision that's based on a number of factors.  Due to current manufacturing capabilities, many of today's silk flowers are stunningly similar to the real thing.  Therefore, one of the greatest concerns facing homeowners is whether or not they are allergic to real flowers.  If you or someone in your family is allergic, it's better to use silk flowers in order to avoid the sniffles.

When it comes to decor, maintenance is always a concern.  Many homeowners choose silk flowers because they require no maintenance and will last for many years with the proper care.  Compared to real flowers, they are much more economical because they do not need replacing every week.  With that being said, there are also many benefits to choosing real flowers for the purpose of adding color to your home.  One of the most obvious is the scent that real flowers can offer to a room.

Prints 

Believe it or not, you can add colorful flowers to your home without having to choose between real or silk designs.  How?  It's easy.  There is no shortage on full-color art prints and/or photographs featuring flower arrangements or even a single dramatic blossom.  As a homeowner, you can choose a framed print that sits nicely on your desk or a poster-size print that is designed for display on a wall.

Creative Color

If you're on a budget or simply have a knack for crafting, consider using your favorite floral gift wrap and turning it into a beautifully framed print.  You can do this by purchasing a frame and cutting a piece of gift wrap that will fit perfectly inside.  That's all there is to it; you now have a framed print that looks exactly like a work of art.  This type of floral accent is easy, affordable and a perfect way to add color to your home in a fun way.

Greet Your Guests

If you really want to wow your guests, add a hanging flower basket outside your front door.  When someone walks up to your house, they will instantly be greeted with color.  You can choose anything from flowers to strawberries, the latter of which are just as good to eat as they are to look at.

Hot Decorating Tips

Let's face it.  There are two kinds of people in the world—those who have a knack for being creative and those who are seriously lacking in decorating skills.  The good news is that it doesn't matter which category you are in because there's always something new to be learned.  If you want to know how to add some new life to your home without spending a fortune, here is how to get started.

Spruce Up Your Walls

If you need a quick and affordable way to decorate your otherwise bare walls, consider adding a square of your favorite gift wrap to a standard photo frame and hanging it on the wall.  Not only will this look great, but it will also save you a bundle of money when compared to the cost of traditional artwork.

Lighten Up

If you are tired of looking at a plain lampshade, consider adding some pizzazz by purchasing tassel fabric at your local craft store and affixing it to the trim.  This will create a designer look and, best of all, won't cost you a fortune.

A Little Paint Can Go Along Way

If you have an old drawer set that's simply gone out of style, add a fresh coat of paint and some new hardware.  This will work brilliantly whether you are changing the decor or just need a more updated look.

Have a Seat

If the cushions on your chairs are looking worn or simply need some new life, you can make a big difference with some new fabric.  You can change the look of any chair by purchasing fabric and attaching it to the underside of the cushion.  This is an easy and affordable way to get the look of a brand new chair at a bargain.

Wow Your Walls

If you're looking for a conversation starter, consider purchasing plain white quilt squares and sending them to your favorite celebrities for an autograph.  Be sure to send a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) with your request so that they can return the item to you.  With each autographed quilt square that you receive, sew it next to a patterned square.  Over time, you will have a wall hanging that's sure to be a colorful treat for both you and your guests.  Having a quilt signed by dozens of your favorite celebrities is one way to wow your walls in a big way.

Create the Illusion of a Larger Space

Did you know that mirrors can actually give the illusion of a larger room?  Even if your house is small, you can open it up with a few strategically placed mirrors.  Horizontal designs are some of the best and they can offer a look that turns a small room into an open and airy spot.

Now that you know what's hot in decorating, it's time to get busy and start sprucing up your space.  After all, it's often those finishing touches that make a house into a home.
