[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The person who bought our condo wrote a letter, but honestly we didn't care. It's a financial transaction, and we wanted the most money we could get to help us with a downpayment on a new home. Now I'll tell you what the letter did tell us -- this buyer was emotionally invested in the place, so we negotiated with her instead of the other person who made an offer (albeit a lowball one) at the same time. If she hadn't come in with a better offer, we would have gone with someone else who did -- regardless of the letter.[/quote]

Selling a condo is very different in terms of emotional attachment than selling a single family home, especially is the house you are selling is your "HOME".

I can't imagine any circumstance where a letter would make a difference in selling a condo or even a townhouse, but with the right sellers it will definitely make a difference for someone emotionally attached and selling their forevwr home.[/quote]

PP here, I don't know about that. We were emotionally attached to our condo. It was the first place we bought. It was the home to which we brought home our babies. I loved that place, but we needed more space. I did want someone to love the place as much as we did, but that was not at all going to be a deciding factor for us in our decision. I guess I don't understand it when people allow business decisions to be clouded by emotions. I seriously doubt someone would turn down a better offer in favor of one that was not as good but included a love letter.[/quote]

But no one buys a condo as their forever home, the house you bake cookies with the grandkids in, plant the tree to remember your favorite brother who passed away, or picture your daughter walking down the stairs in her wedding dress.

Those are the kind of emotional connections that make a seller connect with someone over a letter.

When you have a seller who can't emotionally let go of their house that is when a letter is effective.[/quote]
