Consider Writing a Letter

I am beginning to notice that many homes are getting multiple offers.  What can you do to set yourself apart from other buyers so that the sellers may consider your offer instead of anyone else’s?  How about a good, old-fashioned letter? 
Your letter should speak honestly and directly to the seller.  Tell them about the features of the home that you find exceptional.  Do you love the kitchen?  Tell them so!  Perhaps you can envision your children gathered around the island doing homework while you prepare dinner…tell them that, too!  Love the closets?  Perhaps mentioning that you finally found a closet worthy of your shoe collection would make an impression.
For the most part, people are attached to their homes and want the home to go to someone who will love and appreciate it as much as they did.  If you can make an emotional connection with the seller, it may make all the difference between the sellers choosing your offer over someone else’s.
