> We thought about sending letters to see if somebody wanted to sell to us without going the realtor route
I've gotten letters like that before and always assumed they were Realtors trolling for clients.

I don't own a house.
i.e. "my son lives on X street and I would like to live by him" or "the access to hiking/biking trails is one of the things I cherish the most." , etc.
Otherwise, you are right that I think most of those letters are from Realtors and go immediately in the trash.
At this point I would be suspicious of even a personal letter like you mention above. I really hope technology continues to squeeze realtors out of business. At one point I was indifferent to them, but they have turned my opinion negative.
