In a market where bidding wars are common, will it do any good to write a personal letter to the sellers? In most cases, it can’t hurt. It might help. Some owners want to sell to someone who will love their home as much as they did. Most owners will go for the best offer, but if there are multiple best offers, the one with a letter could win the day. In the letter, describe how you see yourself living in the home. Your kids will swing on the tire swing. You will cook magical cakes in the cozy kitchen. Include a photo of you & the family.
