UGH I'm writing a homebuyer's letter to the seller of the home I'm putting an offer on.
I HATE this sort of thing. It's like writing cover letters or resumes or some shit like that.
@Impious_Jade: Whaaaaat? When did that kind of thing start, or has it been a thing I've never had the misfortune of coming across that's been around a long time?
@thedisasterautist It seems to have become more of a thing now that there was a precedent established for it. I was advised to write one by my agent, to gain sympathy from the buyer as we start in on the whole negotiating process.
OH DEAR. THIS POST WAS SET TO SELF-DETONATE 💣 💥 🔥

@thedisasterautist It started some years ago when the market was much more competitive, & sellers could pick & choose who they sold their home to. Buyers started writing letters of appeal, basically - a "here's why you should pick me to buy your house" letter.
