Handwritten Letters Can Help Your Farm List—Without You Turning Into a Walking Zillow Ad

Hey there, hardworking real estate superheroes.

Let’s talk farming. No, not the kind with tractors and cows—although, if you're farming a rural area, who knows? We're talking real estate farming: consistently reaching out to homeowners in a specific area so you’re the first name they think of when it’s time to sell.

Now, you could door knock until your Fitbit begs for mercy. You could send the same boring printed flyer that everyone else is sending (you know the one, “JUST SOLD! I can sell yours too!” in 48-point font). Or… you could stand out like a house with a pool in Phoenix—by sending a handwritten letter.

Enter: First Touch Letters.
We’ve cracked the code on making you unforgettable—and not in the “left five voicemails this week” kind of way. We're talking warm, personal, and most importantly: human.

Let’s break down how our real estate-specific handwritten products can help you dominate your farm list—and still have time for wine tastings or TikToks, depending on your vibe.


🏡 1. The Realtor Letter

This is your classic intro. It's like a firm handshake in letter form—minus the awkward sweat. It says, “Hey, I’m a local real estate expert, and I actually care about this neighborhood.” It's warm, confident, and not pushy.

Perfect for:
✅ Introducing yourself to your farm list
✅ Following up after open houses
✅ Standing out from the sea of bland, photocopied flyers

Bonus: It doesn’t scream “sales pitch.” It whispers, “friendly neighborhood expert who actually writes to you.”


💌 2. The Personal Greeting Letter

Think of this one as your handwritten hug. This isn’t your average “I’m in real estate, let’s talk!” letter. This is, “Hey Susan, I noticed your lawn always looks amazing—have you ever thought about selling?” (Okay, maybe not exactly that, but you get the idea.)

It’s conversational, personal, and can include actual neighborhood references so it doesn’t feel mass-produced (because it’s not!).

Perfect for:
✅ Warming up cold leads
✅ Re-engaging homeowners you’ve contacted before
✅ Reminding people you’re not a robot

Pro tip: This is the letter that makes people say, “Wow, someone actually wrote this to me?” And we’re here like: “Yes. You did. Kinda.”


📬 3. Postcards

Simple. Sleek. Surprisingly powerful. Our handwritten postcards are like the text message of direct mail—quick, easy, and right to the point.

But unlike texts, they don’t get lost between 27 group chats and your aunt’s dog memes.

Perfect for:
✅ Staying top of mind
✅ Promoting recent sales or listings
✅ Seasonal touches (Holiday wishes, market updates, etc.)

Bonus: They look personal enough that people don’t throw them straight into the recycling bin. A true miracle.


Why Handwritten Works

People are drowning in marketing emails, junk mail, and social media ads. A handwritten letter stands out like a sold sign on a neighbor’s lawn.

It feels personal. It feels intentional. It makes people pause—and sometimes that pause is all you need to start a real connection.

Let us handle the handwriting, the envelope stuffing, and the stamp-licking (just kidding—we use machines, it’s very hygienic). You just keep being the rockstar agent your farm list deserves.
