The name and number of their next-door neighbors, one on each side and across the street, along with an introduction and a coupon for a free pizza (or Chinese, or ???), so they can have a housewarming party and let the kids (if any) get to know each other. I usually throw a housewarming party for my new buyers or sellers, get a mailing list, cater it, and it's great PR!!

The number of the HOA person so they can get a newsletter and learn about their neighborhood.

Put them on a drop list to receive info about real estate values in the neighborhood and get referrals.
