A realtor shared that she doesn’t like adding love letters into home purchasing offers because the feeling of rejection is even worse when it happens.
Not only did they reject your offer… after they read your love letter, they rejected you, too.
It’s personal.
Except it’s not.
Not if we don’t want it to be.
The narrative we tell ourselves is written by… ourselves. No one else.
Perhaps I could tell myself they never read the love letter and just took the highest bid.
Maybe it’s that another person offered 100K more. Even I would take that, no matter how lovely the love letter.
You know, it could have been for the best that we didn’t get that bid because we just put an offer on a house even better.
The list of narrative options can go on… with none of them making us feel personally rejected.
This doesn’t just apply to homebuying of course.
Stay Positive & Tell The Story That Helps, Not Hurts
