4. Don't get stuck on one home
"This kind of flies in the face of the write-a-letter advice, but try not to get too emotionally attached to something because you probably will be disappointed," Rascoff said. "People lose houses all the time, buyers fall in love with a house and then they can't — they're not the winning bidder, so try not to fall too in love with it."
3. Write a letter to the seller
"It can't hurt," Rascoff said. "But appealing to their emotions can be successful. I've had success a couple of times with that."
2. Be patient and persistent
"Be prepared to make multiple offers," Rascoff said.
1. Choose a stellar agent
"He or she can advocate for you and provide you advice," Rascoff said. "You should read reviews of real estate agents on Zillow or any website. I don't really care where you read reviews, don't just rely on a referral from a friend."
