Love Letter to the Sellers - How to Make An Offer More Competitive

A Personal Letter from a Buyer to a Seller can be a big competitive advantage in getting an offer accepted on a house.

It is important to know that not all sellers are willing to look at a personal letter. But if they do, it can allow for the seller to personally connect with the buyer.

An offer is rigid. It doesn’t allow for a buyer to connect with a seller in any particular way. A letter to the seller allows for a connection.

In your letter you want to relay to a seller who you are (say the good things!) and why you love the house. Talk about what you envision for the home (without talking about improvements like a rehab or an addition… Because that is saying you don’t love the home as it is). Maybe you envision having a game of catch in the backyard with your kids!

As you are walking through the house, be sure to look at obvious connections. Don’t get creepy looking, but maybe you notice a college degree or a picture with a fish prized fish. This might be an area that you could get a personal connection if you graduated from the same college or love fishing too.

Take the time to write a good letter. It can make a huge difference.
