Same outcome a little different story. I had shown over 50 homes over 2 months to a couple buying there first new home. We were looking in a specific location. Home came on the market and we made an offer along with 6 others on day 1 of listing. The listing agent called and told us they were going to counter all 7 (all qualified with letters) at the same time, the winner would be the first to respond with a signed off contract. I called the listing agent and asked if we (clients included) could sit in their conference room and be handed the contract instead of faxing the counter to us, she paused but agreed. We did just that..she handed it to us..we signed and handed in the earnest money check while she was faxing the other offers. We got the house!! Through referrals I have done over 5 million in sales with friends and family and still counting. It does work. Same outcome a little different story.

But the cover letter still works amazingly well. I've used wedding, baby and dog pics. In one situation my buyer client worked for a large gaming company and offered the seller videos that hadn't been released to the public yet (they got the house).

I couldn't agree more with the use of the cover letter, highlighting the strengths of your offer, while complimenting the vendors on their home, not house, so they have piece of mind that someone is going to buy their home and make it their own. Thanks to Benjamin, and his professional advice, Robin and I have the home we were looking for. Thanks again Benjamin. I have no problem with you sharing our cover letter to help others win the home they want.

Now, this place needed six figures worth of rehab. We wrote a loevly letter, hitting all the seller's hot spots (religion, family, restoring the old home), and my clients got it @ 370K. Chalk up another one for the Cover Letter Thanks Mariana
