[quote=spdrun]Why would a seller give a flying spaghetti frig about some sappy letter? It’s a commercial transaction. The purpose is to obtain cash. The firstest with the mostest wins this game.
The people writing the letters should save their time.[/quote]
Logic would agree with you.
However, there are a large chunk of buyers and sellers who rely more on emotion than logic in home price transactions.
Consider the family who is being transferred and selling their house where little johnny learned to walk, with pencil marks on the door frame marking his height each birthday. These people will react differently to these letters than say a rental property owner who is selling.
