Things Not To Include With Your Home Offer

The Canadian Press reports that some potential resale home buyers in Canada are including notes and family photos with their offers.  The idea is that if there are multiple offers, perhaps a sentimental note attempting to connect with the seller may improve your chances of selling a home.

We will leave it to you and your real estate agent to decide whether this approach is right for you. If you do decide to take this sentimental approach here are some light-hearted:

Items Not To Add To Your Offer To Purchase A New Home

1.  Spilled red wine stains. In addition to looking sloppy, one might question whether you were even sober when you made the offer and should be taken seriously!

2.  A Post-It note with all of your internet and app login passwords.  The sellers could steal your identity. Worse, they could hire Uber drivers to move all of their furniture to their new home in Saskatchwan using your account. Say goodbye to your near perfect 4.8 Uber score!

3.  A photo of the random family that came with a picture frame you just bought. Especially if it is a random family of kittens. Kittens are notorious for walking away from counteroffers.
