It worked for my fiancé and I and we also put a picture of us attached to the letter. It felt weird at first, but our realtor urged us to try. I emphasized my fiancé’s military service and when we were up against a few other couples, the owner chose us.
He had lived in the home for 30+ years with his wife until she had recently passed away and he decided to move in with his son. The owner also served in the military and his wife was Asian- double slam.
I don’t see it hurting to give it a go. I see myself as a seller. Of course I’m going to go after the best offer, but if I have a few in I would definitely read the offer letter. Anyone that had served in the military- especially those who served in Afghanistan or Iraq, was a teacher or were a small family just getting their boots on the ground would get top billing.
