Buying by tender: Did you write a letter?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Hi folks,
My colleague Jo is writing a story about buying by tender, specifically, the new trend of writing letters to the vendor to explain why they should pick your offer over all the rest.
As the market gets harder and harder to break into, we've been hearing more and more about people trying to make a personal connection with vendors to give their tender offers the edge. We've heard folks will include personal details about their family, why the love the house and what their plans for the property are.
Jo would love to talk to anyone who's written a letter like this to accompany a tender - perhaps it's you, perhaps a relative or friend - or from vendors who've received letters like this, accompanying a tender.
Perhaps you asked for such letters?
We'd love to hear more about that experience for you and how it shaped the way the sale went.
You can reach out to jo here (she'll be joining the Neighbourly neighbourhood soon!) or via our email: homed@stuff.co.nz.
Looking forward to hearing your stories.

🔌FREE $50 OFF ANY ELECTRICAL WORK - LIMIT 7🔌

Kate from Illuminate Ltd

Have you got any electrical faults, downlight replacing, outdoor lighting, switchboard upgrades that need servicing?

If so, then we’ve got you covered!


We’ve been busy here at Illuminate but we’ve had a big house job put on hold until next week which means a couple of our tradesmen will be knocking around the workshop for the next few days.

We’d rather they were kept busy so we’ll give you $50 of your bill for any work booked in for next week.

Plus we’ll do a free Switchboard Inspection (valued at $79) while we’re at your place to check the safety standards.

📞Call us on 09 238 3384 to book or send a message mentioning this post to get the discount.

If you know of someone that needs any electrical work done, tag them in this post. 💡🛠️
