The Thank-You Note That Could Earn You 23% More Business (Without Picking Up a Pen)

Let’s talk about something wildly underrated in the world of real estate: the good old-fashioned thank-you note.

You know, the thing your mom told you to send after a birthday gift?

Turns out… she was onto something.
According to Realtor Magazine, agents who send handwritten thank-you notes see a 23% increase in repeat business and referrals. That’s not a small bump—it’s the kind of increase that fills your pipeline without spending another dime on cold leads.

But here’s the catch:
You’re busy. Between listing appointments, inspections, and trying to remember where you left your lockbox key, who has time to handwrite a stack of heartfelt notes?

That’s where we come in.

At First Touch Letters, we’ve turned the lost art of handwritten communication into a time-saving, client-loving, referral-generating machine.

Introducing: The Single Greeting Letter
It’s a handwritten thank-you note that looks like it came straight from your desk (without you ever touching a pen).

Here’s how it works:

  • You choose a message (or write your own).

  • We handwrite it, envelope it, and mail it.

  • You look like a follow-up genius.

No bulk orders. No minimums. No sore wrists.
Just one beautifully written, personalized note sent directly to your past client.

And the best part? You stay top of mind—without having to send another awkward “just checking in” text at 10 PM.

Why it works:

  • Handwritten = personal. It doesn’t look like marketing. It looks like you care.

  • It stands out. In a world of junk mail and mass emails, a handwritten envelope gets opened.

  • It builds loyalty. People do business with people they like. A thank-you note goes a long way in showing you’re one of the good ones.

Ready to boost your referrals (and look classy while doing it)?

Because nothing says “professional” like a handwritten note—especially when you didn’t have to write it.
