- Highlight the offer (cash purchases, quick closings)
- Include one clear call to action (phone, email, or website)
- Use clean, professional formatting to make an impact
- Overloading the reader with too much information
- Sounding overly salesy or desperate
- Using generic phrasing (e.g., “we buy houses for top dollar!”)
- Forgetting the next step—always guide the Michigan seller on how to respond

- For deceased owners, “Dear Property Owner” acknowledges heirs respectfully.
- For living individuals, a personalized greeting fosters a stronger connection.
