The letter that helped this couple buy on the street where she grew up
A letter to the sellers helped Hannah and Jamie buy a four-bedroom Tawa home on the street where Hannah grew up.
AI summary
A Wellington couple secured their first home in Tawa by writing a personal letter to the sellers. Hannah grew up on the street, and this connection helped them purchase the four-bedroom house for mid-$870,000s, below its RV.
They believe their letter was more persuasive than a higher offer. Their advice to other buyers is to offer what you think a home is worth, not just its RV, and to budget with a buffer for negotiation.
