Buying by tender: Did you write a letter?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Hi folks,

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.

Hey,

There`s a new market for digital artists which has opened up. A quick explainer.

Instead of selling the print, artists (like Banksy) sell the jpg file, which acts like a stock. So, you can buy and sell the “stock” (jpg file) or hold it as an investment through the market . So, I am doing a series on New Zealand birds which are about to go on the NFT (Non-Fungible-Token) art market via www.opensea.io...

This is my first piece. The buyer will receive the jpg file, and the A4 print, signed (one only). So heads up neighbours....if you`re interested this print will be sold for $250.00, signed by me, and it will be registered and minted in the market, which provides you with ongoing provenance for the artwork. Any questions let me know. Interested? Investors of course support the artist, but also create an investment vehicle for themselves. One that will grow and grow as the market develops. Any questions, let me know.

Your support is appreciated. Thanks.
