[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did this for a house and the seller's agent said they just didn't care (they were a family similar to ours and we wrote that we'd care for the home and raise our kids there, etc). They just wanted the most money they could get.

Later won a bid on a much nicer house and didn't bother with a letter. But our agent had told their agent we were a young family and would be raising kids there and loving the house -- the sellers told us that had meant a lot. So I personally don't think letters matter as much as a good word put in by your agent, but that was just my experience.[/quote]

If I had to sell our home I would not even open letters from prospective buyers. our house is our biggest asset and we would look for the highest price from the most solid buyer. I would find a buyer who writes such a letter a little naïf.  when we bought our home, the sellers had lived there over 50 years (estate sale sold by the kids after the last parent died). the house was very well taken care of and clearly well loved. our agent told the seller's agent that we were a family with two little kids looking for our forever home and at closing the seller told us that they were very happy that the house was going to be sold to us because we were a family similar to theirs when they bought it over 50 years ago. but we also were solid buyers with a good down-payment and an offer that reflected the market.

PP here. Yep, that was the case with us, too. We had 20% down and the sellers were happy to hear we were going to raise our kids in this house. That said, I'm sure the strong offer was what got us the house.[/quote]

Yes. The buyer absolutely has to be qualified.  [/quote]
