[5-DayForum] Sale this Weekend in SW Missouri

[Scott Ames]

Good for you. 
   
  You have many more people than I had. I think you'll be fine. 
  
I would print just 20 to 30 of each sheet, keep the masters handy, and have someone run and make more when you get low.
   
  I wouldn't have a guest book, just the bid sheet. You shouldn't care about those who want to just look and go. Realtors might, but you only have one home to sell.

  My sale is this weekend. I have a large 3-story historic home that I inherited (with a mortgage). The ad price is $99,500. I'm advertising in 5 newspapers and on lots of websites. I already have a website for the property:  http://www.historichomesale.com  so I'm posting the info. for the sale on it as well. I hung banners/sign at the property this morning and have already received 3 calls. The newspaper ads will start running tomorrow.
   
   I've had the house listed with a realtor for 2 years with no offers. The home is probably worth around $225,000.
   
  I'm expecting a huge amount of people wanting to see the house. Most will not be buyers. In an open house a year ago, I had 100 people visit in 2 hours with no offers.
   
  The thing that I'm the most stressed about is just dealing with number of people inspecting the house. I'm thinking about a guest book for them to sign like a realtor would have at an open house. Or some way to separate the buyers from the lookers. Or is that necessary as long as I can somehow get to talk to the buyers while they are there? 
   
  There will be 6-7 people helping me to show the house. I was thinking about having one of them in the entry greeting people and I would be in the next room to do the "closing" after their tour. 
   
  Should I plan on printing 100's of flyers--enough to give to each visitor or  give only them to the people interested in buying?
