Can a Love Letter Win a House Bid? How To Get Your Offer Accepted In Multiple Offer Situations When Buying A House

Dear Friend,


Here’s a quick note to let you know how I can help you—or anyone you feel comfortable introducing me to.

When sellers put their home on the market, they’re generally interested in two things: the price they get and the money they keep. But when they receive multiple offers from interested buyers, and the offers look similar, the deciding factor might be something completely different. It might come down to who they want living in “their” house. They might start to think about who they are leaving behind for their neighbors. 100_3706That’s why, when writing an offer for a home, buyers should add a “love letter” that tells about who they are and why they love the house, letting the owners know how they’ll fit in to the neighborhood. It can’t hurt and it just might help!

When you, a friend, family member, or neighbor decides to buy a home, contact me for help in crafting the best offer. 609-338-3773 or matt@sjhouses.com. Ask me for my free report, How to Stop Spending Money on Rent and Own a Home Instead.

P.S. Who do you know who plans to buy a home soon? Please introduce us so I can guide them through the process.

P.P.S.  I recently had a buyer client who was in a multiple offer situation.  I encouraged them to create a short video on their phone to introduce their family to the seller.  It worked!  Their offer was accepted and they are now enjoying their new home.

What If You Had One Year?

What would you do if you only had one year to live? The novelist Anthony Burgess found out when he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at age 40.

fathers-dayBurgess was working as a teacher in Brunei and had already published several novels. But when he got the devastating news and was sent back to England, he had to decide how he would provide for his wife after his death. His answer: Become a full-time writer.

During the last year of his life, he wrote five and a half novels, so one story goes. Ultimately he received some good news: His cancer had gone into remission. Instead of dying, he embarked on a lifelong career as a novelist, winning multiple awards and earning great fame for his book A Clockwork Orange, which was turned into a movie by legendary director Stanley Kubrick. He did eventually die…in 1993 at the age of 76 of lung cancer.

What could you accomplish if you lived like you only had a year left? Imagine the energy and force of will you would put towards your dreams, your family, your passion!

And then, what if you discovered that you were going to go on living after all? Imagine what a leap you would have made towards your dreams and goals.

Even if just for a day, what if you lived like you only had a year left? What would you do today? Sincerely,

Matthew Haviland
