- Your buyer wants to submit a personal letter with their offer (especially in emotional or family-home sales)
Buyer letters can inadvertently create Fair Housing liability when they reference familial status, national origin, religion, race, or disability. Claude will:
You are responsible for final review before submission.
Write a personal offer letter from a buyer to a home seller.
BUYER DETAILS (provide only what's relevant and Fair Housing compliant):
- Buyer name(s): [first names only]
- Connection to the property or neighborhood: [why this specific home — describe without protected class info]
- What they love about the property: [specific features — fireplace, garden, workshop, layout]
- Their story (Fair Housing compliant): [career, lifestyle, connection to community — not family structure]
- Their commitment: [cash offer / pre-approved / flexible closing / no contingencies]
SELLER DETAILS (what you know about them):
- Seller's relationship to the home: [long-time owner, raised family here, inherited, etc.]
- Seller's known priorities: [speed, price, certainty, right buyer]
- Any known emotional ties: [garden they planted, custom woodwork, neighborhood legacy]
OFFER CONTEXT:
- Offer price: $[X] (vs. list price $[X])
- Offer type: [at list / above list / with escalation clause]
- Strength of offer: [pre-approval amount $[X], cash, [X]% down, flexible close date]
- Contingencies: [financing / inspection / appraisal — or specify waivers]
- Competitive context: [multiple offers expected / single offer / deadline]
Write a letter that:
1. Opens with a genuine, specific connection to this property (not generic "we love your home")
2. Tells the buyer's story in 1-2 sentences (lifestyle, not demographics)
3. Highlights 2-3 specific features of the home they love (shows they've been there)
4. Communicates financial strength without sounding clinical
5. Addresses the seller's known priorities directly
6. Closes with warmth and confidence — not desperation
Keep it under 300 words. No Fair Housing red flags.
Write a cover letter from buyer's agent to listing agent to accompany an offer.
OFFER SUMMARY:
- Property: [address]
- Offer price: $[X]
- Earnest money: $[X] ([X]% of purchase price)
- Down payment: [X]%
- Loan type: [conventional / FHA / VA / jumbo / cash]
- Pre-approval: [pre-approved with [lender], up to $[X], verified income and assets]
- Close date: [X days from acceptance / flexible]

CONTINGENCIES:

- Financing: [yes / waived — cash / strong approval]
- Appraisal: [yes / waived / gap coverage up to $[X]]
- HOA docs: [yes / waived]
BUYER STRENGTH POINTS:
[List 3-4 reasons this offer is clean and will close]
OFFER STRATEGY CONTEXT:
- Is this a multiple-offer situation? [yes/no — if yes, what's the competitive angle?]
- Any special accommodations to seller? [flexible close, rent-back, personal property items]
- Escalation clause? [yes — up to $[X] in $[X] increments, with proof of competing offer]
Write a professional agent-to-agent letter that:
1. Summarizes the offer terms clearly in the first paragraph
2. Establishes buyer credibility (lender name, financial strength)
3. Highlights what makes this offer clean (low risk to seller)
4. States any seller accommodations
5. Provides your contact information and availability
Tone: Professional, collegial, confident. Not pushy.
Under 250 words.
Draft a plain-English escalation clause explanation for my buyers to understand, and a professional disclosure for the listing agent.
Escalation details:
- Base offer price: $[X]
- Escalation increment: $[X] above any competing bona fide offer
- Escalation cap: $[X] (maximum we will pay)
- Proof required: [yes — copy of competing offer / no proof required]
- Appraisal gap coverage: [yes, up to $[X] above appraised value / no]
Write two versions:
1. BUYER EXPLANATION (plain English, how it works in practice, 100 words max)
2. AGENT DISCLOSURE (for the listing agent, precise terms, 80 words max)
My buyer is competing in a multiple-offer situation. Help me build the strongest possible offer package.

Generate:
1. Recommended offer price and rationale

3. Which contingencies to waive and what risk that carries
4. 3 non-price ways to strengthen this offer
5. One-paragraph letter strategy (emotional vs. financial focus based on seller profile)
6. Red lines — what NOT to do even in competition (overextend, blind escalation cap, etc.)
My buyer received a counter-offer. Help me draft the response letter and advise on strategy.
Original offer: $[X], [contingencies], close [date]
Counter-offer: $[X], [changes to terms], close [date]
Difference: $[X] / [what changed]
My buyer's position:

3. Walk-away recommendation: at what price or terms should my buyer decline?

1. Thanks the listing agent for the opportunity

3. Positions the buyer as a backup if the first deal falls through
Under 100 words. Professional and warm.
User: My buyers (a couple, first names Sarah and Tom) are offering $715K on a $699K list in Denver. The sellers are a retired couple who've lived there 25 years. Sellers' agent says they care about the home going to someone who will love it, not flip it. My buyers are both teachers, love the backyard garden, and want to stay in the neighborhood long-term. Conventional loan, 20% down, pre-approved to $800K with Chase. Waiving appraisal gap up to $20K.
Expected output: A 280-word personal letter from Sarah and Tom that opens with a specific detail about the garden ("the raised beds along the south fence"), mentions their careers as something that ties them to the community, expresses intent to stay and maintain the character of the home, and closes with warmth. No mention of kids, religion, or national origin. Agent cover letter separately — summarises the $715K offer, 20% down, conventional with Chase, appraisal gap coverage to $20K, flexible close, and positions the offer as low-risk for the sellers.
