[5-DayForum] 5 day sale in Orlando - 1st response & need help

[Bill Effros]

Christy,

Yes this counts.  If you can easily send more photos you are sure will 
make this person more likely to attend your inspection, send them.  All 
you are trying to do is get people to look at your home.  The more the 
better.  However, ultimately, all you want are the three real buyers who 
will bid against each other, so if you lose a couple of unreal buyers 
along the way, it doesn't really matter.

As you start to get more and more responses, you will develop your own 
style, and your own way of responding.  The large number of responses 
lets you know you have advertised in the right places, and you have 
advertised at a fraction of what people know your home is currently 
worth.  That fraction may be 50%; it may be 75% -- that remains to be seen.

Just be yourself, and become comfortable with the idea that you can 
bring the three real buyers to your home, and it doesn't matter if you 
make "mistakes" along the way -- as long as they are honest mistakes, 
and you are perceived as an honest seller.

It is exciting, there's no doubt about that.  It's also completely safe 
if you do it properly.  And quite reliable.
