Rant: my realtor said to offer $15k over asking in a bidding war and I thought it was nuts

We won the house in Austin by writing a personal letter to the seller with our offer, which our agent said made the difference against a higher cash bid.

So what did you even put in that letter, @king.aaron? I've heard that works but always wondered what actually gets a seller to pick you.

Yeah, that personal touch can really cut through the noise of pure numbers, can't it?

Totally! It's like when you get a handwritten thank you note instead of a text. Makes you feel seen, you know?
