Happy Holidays! I just had my house buying anniversary a few days ago and wish you the best for your purchase.

I have another tip that my loan officer gave to me that I thought was a little out there but I think did help in the end.

She mentioned when submitting a purchase offer to attach a personal letter saying how much you love the place, instantly felt at home, see myself living here a long time, yadda yadda yadda. Sure it sound corny and I did tell her that and that it’s strictly a professional transaction between the buyer and seller.

She replied in theory, yes. But the fact is people have their emotions tied to the house they are trying to sell. If there are multiple offers for the same house, the sellers might be swayed with a letter that makes them say “Awwww they sound just like us 10 years ago.”

Granted it’s not a guarantee but there is no harm to not include it.
