Alerts are a great way for you to stay up-to-date on things you care about. We will email you a list of the new items that match your criteria at a time of your choosing.
While I would write a letter, I wouldn't write one as your agent suggested. There's no template, per se, and you should write in your own handwriting rather than typing it. The people from whom you are buying the house would like to know how well you are going to take care of their home - for example: they have a really lovely garden, and you promise to take very good care of it. They would also like to know why it's the best house for you - use some fantastic feature of the house that caught your eye and gush about it. Also, if you children, it's a good way to "pull at their heart strings" about how this will be a wonderful home for them - and list the reasons why. I have found that when buyers write such letters, they often get a house for less than they thought otherwise possible, and many times they didn't have the highest offer for the house. While there's no guarantee you'll get the house, you will have a much better chance than if you didn't.
