When we got our place the former owners said after they accepted our offer people were asking to see the place, would offer more and some even dropped off letters in the mailbox. The old owners were Asian and the guy said "it's easy write a sad letter but banks don't give mortgages out of pity"
He actually had an offer at asking but didn't trust those people would follow through on financing. While ours was a few thousand less he knew we were good for it and short closing window. There was that lien issue they had we helped clear up too...
So writing a sob story letter means nothing to me. Money talks bullshit walks
