If you feel so much conviction that you find the seller in the MLS, searching out their name(s) on the tax records and then sending a letter (who does that anymore?), why not attach your name to your efforts?

Crozet Master Plan up for Review

Bumped back to the top because the conversation at RealCrozetVA is pretty good.
