In this hot seller’s market, writing a personal letter to the seller with your offer is a nice touch. However, here’s how you can take it a step further.

The Bay Area market is extremely hot for sellers right now, and as a home buyer, you may face more competition for a home now than you may have in the past. What can you do to make your offer stand out and win the home you want?
Many Realtors would suggest writing a personal letter to the seller. Writing a “love letter” to the seller about their home will inform them about who you are, what you love about the home, and why they should choose your offer over others.

Let the seller see who you are and why you’re passionate about the home.

Though we think that this is a great idea, as a cutting-edge brokerage, we’d like to take another step up from this concept.
What we’re doing instead is encouraging home buyers to create a short video to send to the seller to let them see who you are and how passionate you are about their home. This will really help you stand out from all of the offers on the table.
This kind of emotional appeal to the seller will go a long way in getting your offer accepted. If you have any other questions about the best ways to get your offer accepted in a hot market like this one, give me a call or send me an email. I’d be happy to help you!
