Pick Us! Example of a Home Buyer Letter

Need an example of a home buyer letter?

Home Buyer Letter

Here is the one we submitted in addition to our $1.1 million offer for 614-618 Eugenia Street in San Francisco. Fingers crossed!

Home Buyer Letter:

July 18, 2013

Dear [Sellers],

Thank you for taking the time to review our offer.

We are a Match.com success story! Catherine is a book-loving academic while Dean is a TV-obsessed sports fanatic. While it seems opposites attract in our case, we share a love for exploring the San Francisco Bay Area (favorite hike is the Tomales Point trail in Point Reyes) and keeping a clean, clutter-free home. The well-designed esthetic of your property clearly aligns with our own. We especially love how much natural light fills each of the rooms.

While we have struggled with fertility, we are absolutely confident that 618 Eugenia will provide us with a happy, zen-like atmosphere to conceive our multi-ethnic kid: Filipino, British, and Italian, or FBI as our parents like to say. We love that the downstairs area can accommodate visiting family and we look forward to showing them around Bernal Heights—the perfect neighborhood to live in and raise our family. In fact, Hillside Supper Club is one of our favorite restaurants.

We will be attentive and thoughtful landlords to the tenant who rents the studio. Our current landlord at 757 Sutter Street entrusts Dean with renting, processing, and handling issues at our apartment complex of 34 units. With an undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley and an MBA from the University of Chicago, Catherine has worked for [large bank] for close to 10 years. Dean has had a successful career in software sales for more than 20 years.

We have our hearts set on calling your property home, and hope you’ll agree that we are the right fit to become the next owners.

We appreciate your consideration,

Catherine Gacad & Dean Barbella

    If I were the seller I would pick you and Dean in a heartbeat! When we bought our home, we were one of eight bids. We wrote a tug-on-the-heartstrings letter and we got the house. I’d like to think that the letter sealed the deal, and I hope yours does the same.

      Thanks so much Dana. Crossing fingers! The housing market is super tight in San Francisco, and we are ok either way…as it always works out for the best.
