[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been searching for a home for a while, very discouraged by how quickly things are going under contract...appraisal contingencies being stricken from offers etc.  
So on Sunday night, I got on Zillow - found around 10 Make Me Move properties, knowing it was a total long shot.  Guess what? Got 2 calls back yesterday. One house we really love, the other - eh. Anyhow, contract being written today.

I know there was a discussion about Make Me Mover recently, just wanted to add my experience. [/quote]

OP here with an update on my MMM experience! We offered $12K below their asking as they were a tad over what the banks would appraise the house over and there was no way we were going to kick in another $10K cash. During this time period they got an offer from another buyer.  We submitted a heart-felt personal letter about why we wanted the house, all about our family etc. and upped our offer by another $2K and  got word today that they chose US!! we got the house :)

Lesson learned out of this experience is that MMM works AND so does a personal letter.  I know there was a discussion on here recently about whether or not that approach helped and many on here laughed at the idea - saying they would not even read a personal letter from a potential buyer.  glad our sellers did :) we are so thrilled.
