Any more information than what’s needed could convince the to give the home to someone else who isn’t so obsessive about the home.
Don’t make the a cry for help. You want to convince the to sell to you, but that doesn’t mean that you have to put the in an uncomfortable position. Sharing an emotional connection is different than making the feel bad for you.

One of the best ways to convince a to sell to you is by telling them how much the home means to you. However, you should do more than talk about how great the yard is or how big the master bathroom is.
Talk about what the home can do for you and your family. Talk about how you can see your kids playing in the backyard or the family enjoying a movie in the loft.
Flood the with scenes of a new family enjoying the home just as much as they did. Tell them about how you’re expecting a new baby or hoping to retire in this home.
Share your thoughts about whatever situation fits your scenario. And, if the owner happens to relate to the story, you may be able to appeal to their emotional side.
If you’re thinking about remodeling the home, you should refrain from putting those plans in your . While you would be the rightful owner of the home, the may not like any changes to the home.
People are inherently protective of their homes, even if they’re planning on moving out of them. So, you shouldn’t reveal any changes to the property even if you do think that the kitchen needs an upgrade.
Try to model the after the home as it is. Talk about the big tree in the backyard or the fireplace in the living room.
Make the envision another family enjoying the home as much as they have in the condition that it’s currently in. If you start talking about construction and remodels, the is going to be less likely to choose you to sell the home to.
Hopefully, your to the has been strong up until this point. Now that you’re in the last paragraph or two, you should think about how you’re going to make a big finish.
Do you want to leave them off with an emotional saying or a picture of your family? Do you want to thank them for their time or remind them of your shared interest?
Whatever course you choose, you should make sure that the last paragraph is strong. It’s likely that these last few sentences are going to be the ones that are stuck in the ‘s head. So, they could be the deciding factor when it’s time to sell.
Mention a couple of the key points that you made in the , covering why you would be the best for the home. Then, end the by showing appreciation for the and their time.
This is not the time to be using endings like “with love“, “sincerely”, or “best regards.” Keep things light by ending with “thank you for your time” or something similar.
