Swinging the conversation back to writing letters with your offer. 

Yesterday we had our offer accepted on a house.  There were at least two other offers, one came in after ours that we're told was more attractive, but I'll never know how much more attactive it was.  However, I did include a "love letter" that told them our story.  It was genuine and heartfelt.  Apparently, it connected with the sellers and they accepted our offer over the better one. 

Since I'll never know how close the offers really were in the end I don't know the value of it.  However, I do know from our agent and the seller's agent conversations that it was the piece that turned the sale in our favor.


Now I just need to figure out how to sell my house asap when we were not at all planning/prepared to do so!!!


I don’t think this is a good trend.

Why?

A heartless prick like you wouldn't be swayed by a love letter, but someone who's  more emotional might be.  And it got UWW his house.

I don’t blame UWW for writing it and getting it. It just opens the door to discriminatory practices. The National Association of Realtors has expressed such concerns to their members.

When my kid bought a house the realtor only agreed to deliver the letter after their offer was accepted and all contingencies cleared.

I mean you can insult me all you want. I really don’t care much for your opinions so it just slides off my back.

It just makes you look bitter and sad.

That’s why I’m looking forward to the new message board.  Refreshing honesty.  Can’t wait for it!

Careful now, I'm not sure you'll be able to breathe with that much of Ziggy's member down your throat.

It is cute when the mope squad defends each other. I enjoy when the bitter posters gang up and have some joy in life. Plus, nice to see the squad move on from bashing Naples, FL and find a new topic to enjoy.

I couldn't even tell you any of these guys first or last names.  We certainly aren't a squad of any sort, but if you want to create some fantasy about us all being 'boys' go right ahead.

It is a common mindset and arrogance that brings you and the squad together and I am fine with that. You fella's like to make meat eater references at a drop of hat and how do you know we know all of the meat eater's name?

You think calling someone a heartless prick with no provocation is honest and refreshing? I thought better of you Goose

Truth be told, I think there has been provocation from all sides over the years and nothing shocks me. That said, I do think Sultan has everything that comes his way because he has style that I think goes beyond friendly jabs. So, I guess I think ziggy was honest, which I do find refreshing. Plus, I know ziggy and do not think he is bitter or sad. I find him to be one of the cleverest guys on scoop.

I can lean into that.

I mean, the proof is in the pudding.  You guys talk about meeting up and blowing each other all the time.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.  But you can probably stop imagining that the 'mope squad' communicates outside of what you see here. 

Well, if they are, I'm certainly being left out of their parties.  But who could blame them?

What is your fixation on guys blowing each other? Two posts this afternoon on the very topic. Honestly, it seems strange that an accepting guy like you would ever need to make such references. Your posts come across as anti gay and I thought we were past that way of thinking in the USA.
