Have got very little response from local paper, maybe like 3 people have responded so far. Craiglist ad has produced about 5 contacts. My website address is in the craigslist ad, website getting a lot of hits but only 8 people total have requested the address and more info, and 2 of those were one's that called from the paper. Any other advertising source I missed the deadline for, and local paper only has circulatiom of around 30,000. Don't expect much more on Friday either, I was hoping for a lot more by now. Also noticed lots of comp houses in the area listed below what I expect to get for the place. Would it be smarter to just keep renting it out? Don't really want to but bought with no money down, rolled in closing costs, etc, and only owned for 2.5 years, so you can imagine what are equity is. Defenetly do not want to short sale either. Any advice or inoput greatly appreciated. Also any successful advertising mediums besides the paper and craigslist. Thinking of placing signs all over the place Saturday and Sunday to bring more people in, will this work? Another side note, there are over 170 listings in Watertown and population is only 30,000, should I go through with this? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You are probably still in a negative equity position and would be even if the market hadn't tanked. Good luck with whatever you chose to do. Janet In a message dated 10/1/2009 11:45:18 A.M.

If you go to realtor.com and look at houses in Pinecrest Florida with more then 4,000 sq ft and lots larger then 37,000 sq ft there are only two houses cheaper then ours. There is one at our price and then there are dozens that are more expensive then ours. Anyway we will probably lower the price soon, the house was appraised at $1,080,000 based on comps. Again if you want to know about the $79 MLS service please see my house: http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/6830-Sw-104Th-St_Pinecrest_FL_33156_1112495503 Good luck to everybody, David We're doing a high-end sale this weekend also. I'll report in on the results soon. Let's just say that yesterday we had three times as many showings as we did all summer with a realtor. David, any idea what comps have sold for recently in your area. Great advice on using the $79 service. Can you share what service you used? Andy Subject: [5-DayForum] My experiences with the 5 day Sale and the stretched sale with the gigantic sign I have always believed in the effectiveness of the forces of the free markets and unconventional marketing ideas so when I saw Mr Effros book I bought it convinced his method would work to sell any house. We followed all his advice including the price, newspaper ads, no address, street signs, etc. except that in Craig?s list we added more information about our house then he recommended on his Third Edition, la tter I learned in the 5 day forum he is OK with this. We had 19 calls by Friday so we called / e-mailed everybody and postponed it a week. the second week was still not enough so we postponed again. We only had about 5 families on Saturday, so I made a double sided gigantic sign about 4 X 5 following Mr Effros format and paid a guy to hold it on US 1, a really busy street, the phone rang every 5 minutes and about 30 families visited our house, most loved it but we did not get a single bid. The huge street sign was so successful that we continued doing it every Sunday for about a month, we also continued posting on Craig?s List everyday. We naturally had to change the line "the house will be sold Sunday night" to "The House will be sold in a month to the highest bidder, BUY IT NOW * You can make a preemptive offer, if it is acceptable to us we will cancel the Bidding." again we had a lot of activity but only one offer for $500 over the bidding price. I am certain the 5 day method works even in the current market conditions but I believe it does not work on high end houses at this moment. I listed my house on the MLS with a nation wide service company for $79, it includes 6 months Showcase listing on Realtor.com, description up to 2500 characters, virtual tour, 25 photos and the best part is that the e-mails and the phone calls go directly to me. I am sharing this information because I am very satisfied with the servi ce and I noticed a lot of people in the forum ask about this services, I believe eventually almost everybody will use only ?Buyer?s Realtors?, We are currently offering a 4 % commission, about $48,000 to motivate them . I have no business relationship or any economic benefit from recommending this company, if you want to get their name see my house on Realtor.com, better yet please buy it! it?s a wonderful home. http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/6830-Sw-104Th-St_Pinecrest_FL_33156_1112495503 If you want to see more pictures go to: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pinecrest_home/sets/ I intent to flip houses after I sell our house and I will certainly try the 5 day proce ss again. Thanks to everybody that has participated in the forum for your invaluable insights and information. Thanks to Mr. Effros for the 5 day method and specially for providing this Forum.

I agree with you, at this moment houses worth more then one million are hard to sell, specially with this method. We have been trying to sell the house for almost two months using three different methods. Yes, we will have to lower the price, as soon as I can convince my wife it is the best option. Thanks again, David Thank you for sharing the information, David.? Your house is absolutely gorgeous!!!!? I wish I were in the position to buy it.? How long have you had it on the market?? Maybe this method doesn't work well in that price range of house.? Seems that someone who is in the position to afford it, wouldn't go to the trouble of an auction style sell.? They may be a little skeptical and think it's a lengthy process.? Of course we know it's not, but they may not be educated on this type of sale, and may not take the time to find out.? They may just rather see what they like and make an offer.? We did use the same service you are using to sell our personal home this summer.? It was great!!? The gentleman we used was local and very easy to work with.? We sold our house in 13 days.? It was fabulous!!? My mother is a home stager, so I already knew the things I needed to do to get it in showable condition.? I didn't feel like I needed a "selling agent". ? We did sell a house that we bought to fix and flip a few years ago using the 5-day method.? We didn't get to our selling price with the bidding, but it brought us a buyer.? We were able to negotiate to get to our bottom line price.? We didn't really make a profit, but it allowed us to get out from under it without having to carry the mortgage any longer.? We had purchased right before the downturn of the market, so it was really bad timing on our part. ? About your house, again, have you considered dropping the price below the 1.2.? Your house should sell based on what I've seen of it.? That means the only thing it can be is the price.? Every time you lower, you open up to more potential buyers.? I am certainly not an expert, and it may be that you just listed it or reduced it to 1.2, but just seems that's the only thing left to try.? Just my thoughts.? Hope all goes well with your sale.? Keep us posted.? Selling homes is very frustrating right now.? There seems to be no rhyme or reason to what is selling and what is not.? It's sporadic.? Hang in there! ? Joyfully, ?

We will be in Watertown in a couple of weeks - too bad our timing doesn't intersect. My advice about signs is to keep it as simple as possible - just a feature (e.g. 3 bedrooms) and your price and an arrow - put up the day of your open house. I would also like to comment on something I have been noticing here. When people write down a bid, it really doesn't matter what they put unless they want the first phone call. Some sellers seem to expect the written bids to have to be higher than the otheres there already, and I think that's why people have not been leaving a bid. The last time I did this, the first bid was way too high, and when I made the call, I found out they had no intention of actually buying the property. So just let people write anything - all you want is to capture their name and phone number so you can call them on Sunday. That's when the actual bidding happens. I hope you sell, but you may have to be open to renting it again. Or doing a lease purchase. We sold two houses in Watertown on a land contract - they have been very successful for us. We have been the bank and collecting all that nice interest for a number of years now. My point is that you may have to be creative to get out from under this house in the current market. Let us know how it goes!

The 5-Day Method is trying to tell you that you won't get what you are hoping for at this time. If you really sell your home on Sunday night, you will get higher bids than if you don't. More likely, you will make it clear that you won't sell if you don't get what you are hoping for, and nobody believes your home is currently worth what you are hoping for, so you will be offered less using your variation of the 5-Day Method than you would have been offered had you played it straight. I don't believe you will get what you are hoping for at this time, no matter what you do. It will be difficult for you to run another 5-Day Sale at a later time if everyone knows you reneged the first time. Your local brokers and buyers won't forget. You should have pulled the plug Friday night and figured out what you are going to do.

Regardless of the property, do it just like the book says. Use Craig's List since it is popular there. As far as the paper, look and see how many open houses are listed. If not many, I would pass. Signs worked great for me. I printed the ad exactly as the book stated with my phone number on it. I believe I received 20 responses from the signs. The exact number I put up.

We were very clear in telling people that we are selling to the highest bidder regardless of price but of course they knew we were full of it. Its public record what we paid for the property and everyone uses the internet these days to do everything so they know what we paid for it 2.5 years ago and that we won't take a loss on it, cause the market there HAS NOT declined like the rest of the country. As for you Bill, I firmly believe this method only works in a seller's market, which nobody has, or you want to dump the property no matter what price you get. For someone who has no equity in their home there is no way this will work ANYWHERE. I didn't think it would but I figured it was worth a shot. I followed the rules in the book except saying that I didn't have the "magic 25." "had I played it straight?????" What the f***????? I DID play it straight except for that. I would have pulled the plug had we still lived there but we live 3 hours away so we were there anyway so we decided to go through with it anyway. The signs brought in more people but everyone was a low baller or an investor. I WILL NOT ever use the 5-day sale again so don't worry about that. I had 20 unique contacts by Friday, I mean honestly, hitting 25 would not have made much of a difference. If you want the numbers our highest bid was only 74,000, we paid 112,500 2.5 years ago for the property. Most realtors I talked to price it around 120,000. So tell me what I did wrong, I mean seriously. The house is not the problem, everyone loved the house, its in a great neighborhood, they just wanted a deal, because theres a house for sale on every corner in town, why would they pay full price for this if they can go somewhere else? I think most people automatically write it off as a scam, and honestly if I saw the ads I probably would have too. Also most potential REAL buyers are using realtors and are unfamiliar with buying a house and don't want to stray off the regular path to find an attorney, blah blah blah. You know very well how lazy most people are and they will gladly hand money over to their realtor to do the work for them. To me and you and everyone on this forum the process is simple but to most others it is not. I know when I was looking for houses I looked at the MLS only, not on craigslist, not the paper, and I can tell you thats what probably 70-80% of people are doing. I marketed this property as best as anybody could, I had an investor come to my house who wanted to hire me to market his properties. My website clearly explained everything and everyone knew what was going on when they showed up. However I still feel that it wasn't enough to bring people in. I mean, only 130,000 people live in the entire county, only 30,000 in the city of Watertown. In a large market like New York or LA this would bring 100s of people in but this just isn't possible in a small market. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since I joined this forum I have yet to see anyone get what a realtor believed they could get for a property, or what people have seen other houses go for. Does that mean the market is worsening..... I don't know. Here it's pretty stable, which is why I live here. I move around to where there is money to be made. It does make sense that in a smaller market, you would have a smaller response. However, you DID mention a glut of homes for sale. I think I would continue to rent it until some of the soldiers come home.

Everything you say in your post points the the fact that you are in an extremely weak market and should have expected to acheive the pricing that your bidders came in at. If your property competes with sellers who are desperate, it will relflect that pricing regardless of your "equity" position or "need" to sell. Sounds like you should hang onto the property or list it with one of those Realtors and get your $120K.. Best of luck, Kyle Cascioli www.AuctionBySeller.com -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Brown To: 5-dayforum at mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com Sent: Sun, Oct 4, 2009 9:06 pm Subject: [5-DayForum] Selling hone in Watertown, NY Ok its Sunday night and we didn't even come close to getting what we wanted. We were very clear in telling people that we are selling to the highest bidder regardless of price but of course they knew we were full of it. Its public record what we paid for the property and everyone uses the internet these days to do everything so they know what we paid for it 2.5 years ago and that we won't take a loss on it, cause the market there HAS NOT declined like the rest of the country. As for you Bill, I firmly believe this method only works in a seller's market, which nobody has, or you want to dump the property no matter what price you get. For someone who has no equity in their home there is no way this will work ANYWHERE. I didn't think it would but I figured it was worth a shot. I followed the rules in the book except saying that I didn't have the "magic 25."? "had I played it straight?????" What the f***????? I DID play it straight except for that. I would have pulled the plug had we still lived there but we live 3 hours away so we were there anyway so we decided to go through with it anyway. The signs brought in more people but everyone was a low baller or an investor. I WILL NOT ever use the 5-day sale again so don't worry about that. I had 20 unique contacts by Friday, I mean honestly, hitting 25 would not have made much of a difference. If you want the numbers our highest bid was only 74,000, we paid 112,500 2.5 years ago for the property. Most realtors I talked to price it around 120,000. So tell me what I did wrong, I mean seriously. The house is not the problem, everyone loved the house, its in a great neighborhood, they just wanted a deal, because theres a house for sale on every corner in town, why would they pay full price for this if they can go somewhere else? I think most people automatically write it off as a scam, and honestly if I saw the ads I probably would have too. Also most potential REAL buyers are using realtors and are unfamiliar with buying a house and don't want to stray off the regular path to find an attorney, blah blah blah. You know very well how lazy most people are and they will gladly hand money over to their realtor to do the work for them.? To me and you and everyone on this forum the process is simple but to most others it is not. I know when I was looking for houses I looked at the MLS only, not on craigslist, not the paper, and I can tell you thats what probably 70-80% of people are doing. I marketed this property as best as anybody could, I had an investor come to my house who wanted to hire me to market his properties. My website clearly explained everything and everyone knew what was going on when they showed up. However I still feel that it wasn't enough to bring people in. I mean, only 130,000 people live in the entire county, only 30,000 in the city of Watertown. In a large market like New York or LA this would bring 100s of people in but this just isn't possible in a small market. _______________________________________________ 5-DayForum mailing list 5-DayForum at mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com http://mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/5-dayforum -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have a few questions: 1. Does anyone know of a real estate lawyer with experience in 5-day sales? I am working with an attorney now, but I feel that he's learning at my expense... 2. I plan on advertising in Craigslist and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (the local big-circulation newspaper). Any better ideas for Milwaukee? 3. When selling a high-rise condo unit in a downtown urban area, do people generally put the square footage in their 5-day classified ads? I was thinking that classified readers would need to know the square footage of the condo, the floor number in a high-rise building, and the general geographic location in order for them to instantly understand that the classified ad asking price is a great price. Thanks so much to the regular contributors--I've been reading the archives & lurking since March of this year, and this list is a great resource!

(Maybe no one except Bill is still here after a year and a half.) I am not here right now to jump back into a high level of participation in the dialogue, but I look forward to that day. Right now I would just like to find out if there are any New Jersey and/or New York (NYC metro area) real estate brokers who monitor or participate in this forum? Would you be so kind as to email me your contact information for the purpose of opening conversations? I have a NJ Real Estate Salesperson license that I am not fully utilizing. A broker/friend holds my license, but he is not interested in taking his business in a direction that I envision; that is, a 5Day centered operation. I am well employed in another industry and have plenty of time to do this right. I'd be happy to converse on this forum with you if I haven't told you enough already for you to send me your name and email. Otherwise please email paul5 at anyol.com and lets see if we have something to talk about. This inquiry is not early in my process. My vision for "win-win" using 5Day is well thought out.

One in upscale condominium community in Haverstraw, waterfront on the Hudson, sold in a weekend. Another was a single family home, an overdeveloped "flip" property in Scarsdale, (nicest house on the block), had over 85 groups visit the home over the weekend, two serious bidders ping ponged each other late into Sunday night, investors ultimately rejected the highest offer, countered at too high a price, potential buyers walked, sellers rethought their position, but buyers were gone by then, continued to try to sell through MLS listing for another 8 months or so, they ultimately rented it at a loss (not covering their monthly nut).

(5-day sale in Milwaukee WI) Message-ID: <024C7266-CFCF-4B7F-B9C5-22528333F5EE@wi.rr.com> Hi, all. We're going for it, doing a 5-day sale of our condo in Milwaukee WI. It's a soft market, and a couple other major newly built condo projects nearby have gone into foreclosure because the developers couldn't sell enough units. However, I don't see that waiting for a possibly better market in the future will be of any benefit given the carrying costs of our place. We've posted ads in craigslist (http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/reo/1430133669.html ) and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newpaper classified section. The craigslist ad is already out, and the Journal Sentinel ad will run Wednesday-Sunday. I've also posted a flyer (similar to the Quick Description described in the book) in some of the workplaces where I have access. I've already gotten 1 hit on Craigslist before 30 minutes had passed! We'll see how things go!

This applies not only to your conduct, but also to your liability exposure. You must be sure that you fully understand and comply with 1) your state's statutes, 2) your brokerage firm's standards, 3) the standards of any associations to which you belong (from the NAR down to your local MLS), 4) the standards and practices of any organizations whose accreditations you carry, and 5) the coverage and restrictions of your insurance carriers. The consequences for not getting it right could bring your career as a real estate agent to a complete and expensive end. The reward for getting it right will be a great new tool in your bag to help those listing clients who are desperate and need to sell fast no matter what the price. My best advice to you is to get clearance from each of the entities mentioned above. The forum is not the place to get the answer to your very important question. As a side note, the fact that you have asked this critical question tells me that you are conscientious about your profession. I commend you; I've seen too many people rush into this method without fully exploring the issues. You clearly will not make that mistake.

Your attitude is like pulling up to a self-serve gas station and throwing a hissy fit when no one comes out to fill your tank. Self-serve is a concept that's been around a long time, more recently Sam Walton began the era of self-serve in retail. There are downsides to self serve, but I've unsubscribed myself to this list and resubscribed. It's not difficult, but it's just part of the cost of membership when you join. Please be careful with flaming e-mails. Life is difficult enough without words hurled around. If I can help in some way, though I have no connection as a moderator, I'll be glad to help.

(5-day sale in Milwaukee WI) In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <262743B6-858F-4E9D-86EF-9D808E777615@wi.rr.com> Hello, just a quick update. It's Friday afternoon, and we've gotten 14 responses so far (2 from craigslist, 4 from friends or friends-of-friends who are interested, and the rest from the classified ad). We are in a bit of a dilemma because I inadvertently broke one of the primary rules--we emailed out a sales flyer in PDF format to all our friends & associates, but the sales flyer has our address on it. We also posted a paper version of this sales flyer to some of my worksites as well as a few public posting areas near the condo we're selling. We've send a follow-up email to our friends & associates asking that if they hear about any interested parties, that those people should contact us.

I thought people may be interested in how it turned out, and I do have a couple of questions. I advertised for $500/mo or best offer per the book. My instinct and browsing other ads told me a value of about $1200/mo would be right. About 60 total emails and phone calls from advertisements in craigslist and a local paper. 25 people left bids. The highest at $1600. I accepted a bid at $1450 based on their preferable application. The tenants paid on time every month for 21 months. The house was not left in good condition. None of the $1450 security deposit is being returned. I'll be more cautious in my coming rental. Overall I would consider it a success, though. But I think there is one serious deficiency in the rental method that differs from the 5day-sale method, and I would like to know what other people suggest as I begin this next rental. In the 5day-sale, the ultimate price is all that is important. In a rental, you care about both the price, and the quality of the tenant. As an example, good tenant Albert offers $600 on the initial bid sheet, but is willing to pay up to $1250 during the round robin. The round robin starts and by the time it gets to Albert (with a low initial bid), it is at $1300. So as far as the method and process goes, I review the applications but Albert's has an offer of $600 attached to it. So I think this example shows there is room for improvement in the 5day-rental method. Does anyone have suggestions?

(5-day sale in Milwaukee WI) In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <7BA301BF-777B-4ACD-AA6B-3213FF49B09C@wi.rr.com> Well, it's now Saturday early morning and the news isn't good. We only ended up getting a total of 15 responses from a combination of craigslist, our local large circulation newspaper, and friend-of- friend connections. I'm pretty sure that between craigslist and the newspaper we've got our mass-advertising bases covered, so that leaves me with the uncomfortable conclusion that we set our advertising price too high, and that the current market value of our condo unit is no more than twice what I advertised, probably less. I'm unwilling to rerun a sale at a lower advertising price, because I'm unwilling to take the substantial nondeductible capital loss that would result from such a sale. We're not in a "must sell" position. We're still leaving open the possibility that people may show up at our door unannounced because we distributed a whole bunch of advertising flyers which already had our address on it. When I called our 15 contacts yesterday to cancel the sale, I told them that if there's a bunch of unanticipated people waiting at our door at 10AM today, that I would call them back and re-open the open house & sale. Barring such an unlikely event, my wife & I will have to discuss our options. I doubt a Realtor would get us so much more that it would offset their commission and still result in a capital gain for us. Therefore, we'll probably turn to the rental market. I'm told that the market for rentals of such condo units as ours is pretty strong. Several of the largest apartment buildings that would have been our most direct rental competition went condo-conversion in the past couple years, one of our interested buyers was the owner of the unit next-door to ours (he was thinking of purchasing our unit & renting it out), and a couple local developers are now lobbying the city for construction of new multi-unit towers, as apartments not condos. For those interested, see http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/business/65071432.html The run-up to our sale did give us valuable information about the true market value of our property, and as such, has still been a valuable experience.

Hey idiot, I sent you instructions on how to unsubscribe yourself. Get a brain and use it. Take care of yourself, the moderator does not do it for you on this site. Since you're obviously dumb AND stupid, I will send the instructions again. If you are having a problem, it is probably on your own computer. A confirmation notice when you subscribe or unsubscribe is sent for confirmation, if you are still receiving messages it is probably because you are not replying to the confirmation. The notice is probably going into your junk, trash or spam folder. When you want to unsubscribe from the 5-Day Forum you must do it for yourself. It is the reverse of the process you used to subscribe: 1. Go to the 5-DayForum website: www.5-DayForum.com 2. Click on the blue word "unsubscribe" on the left side of the home page. 3. Fill in the email address of your subscription in the box provided. 4. Follow the instructions then look for the confirmation and respond to it as instructed in that message. I hope you can figure this out cuz I and I am sure MANY OTHERS do not care to hear from you again. Oh yeah, clean up your mouth and turn to God, He will allow you to do that and your life will improve. It is obviously miserable now.

The method does not change the market, it just gives you a snapshot of where it is on a given weekend. You looked at, and understood the meaning of the snapshot. I wish the 5-Day Method were some sort of magic bullet that could make things better, but it isn't. It's a free diagnostic tool you have used properly. Your property will not sell in the current market for the amount of money you were hoping for. Bill Effros Author David Lee wrote: > Well, it's now Saturday early morning and the news isn't good.

A lot of people modify Bill's method to only sell to the highest bidder if their reserve price is met. I did it that way, and it worked fine. Except for one couple who I negotiated with after the bidding didn't go anywhere, I would have lost $160K by selling to the highest bidder.

With rare exceptions, the people who contribute to the forum are very helpful. There are people from all walks of life who have had varying experience with real estate in general and the 5-day method in particular. Much of what you will read will have specific relevance to the geographical area in which the writer is using the method. The method focuses on the easiest part of selling real estate - finding prospective buyers. That is not to say that finding buyers is easy; rather, it is just not as difficult as the rest of what happens afterward. And, as long as you have an ownership interest in the property yourself, you do not need to be licensed to find a buyer. Most of the remaining tasks require licensing. But the nice thing about that portion is that there are lawyers, accountants, title officers, appraisers, inspectors, and other professionals who are available on a flat fee or hourly basis to perform those tasks. Your ad is well done. It tells forum followers that you think the house is worth about $140,000 even with the layoffs and number of homes for sale in Twin Falls. Most of the common mistakes that people make are covered in the book. More so if you are reading a recent edition. The 1st edition is partially outdated; it was written before the advent of the Internet, websites, email, cell phones, texting, etc. Additionally, at the time it was written, the author didn't have as much experience with the method as he has now had; both personally and vicariously. His subsequent editions are much more useful to current sellers than his first edition. >From what you have written I don't see any mistakes in the making. Keep us posted and if you have any specific questions don't hesitate to seek answers from the forum. Best of luck, Twin Falls is a lovely area. Jim F.
