From Janetislight at aol.com Thu Apr 1 15:15:49 2010 From: Janetislight at aol.com (Janetislight at aol.com) Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2010 15:15:49 EDT Subject: [5-DayForum] Wording of signs and flyers Message-ID: Jeannette, On the signs, I put the ad word for word out of the book. Hand written black on white. Easy to read the caps part fast if you are driving by. I did not use flyers, but others on here did with great success. I think here you don't need as quick of a read, so a couple of GREAT pictures and list of most salient features would probably work well. I also like the "choose your neighbor" slogan. Makes people think of others if they are not interested. Hope this helps! Janet In a message dated 3/31/2010 8:33:39 P.M. Central Daylight Time, jawgnat at gt.rr.com writes: Janet, Great info! Thanks. Would you share more about the actual wording on your flyers and signs? I am kind of at a loss at the moment about what to include and what not to include. Your experience and insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeannette Freeman __________________________________________________________ >From what I have seen here, Bill turn your head and plug your ears, the most responses come from signs and flyers. For the most part newspaper and advertising on Craig's will only bring you in a few. I'd go with the Craig's advertising as it is free and maybe in your area, there are a lot of buyers on that venue. About 20 signs seems to work well, flyers in a fair radius advertising "choose your neighbor." One person even had a very good response from having a garage sale and handing them out. I was surprised during my sale that there was so little from newspapers. Maybe I'm getting "older." Craig's brought me nothing. I received 23 responses from hand written signs stuck all over the place with in a mile radius and will next time include grocery bulletin boards with phone number pull tabs. That has also seemed to work well. Beware, there is a person on this list that advocates a web site and recommends everyone use that sight. I have a feeling it might be self s! erving. Ok, now..... you will get more great advice regarding avenues of promoting your sale from others in this forum. And most with be extremely valuable. Greatest of luck in this process, and please come back with questions and progress. We are all rooting for you!

Internet is still plausible as well as the chose your neighbor flyers. Won't take long to hand those out. I would still do signs in the city, but pick malls, large shopping strips and grocery stores. And maybe pull tab flyers inside the grocery stores on their bulletin boards. You might want to hit a real estate section in a major paper. Who knows, it may work in your area. I just would not spend a lot on it. I think I received 3 responses from three publications. One was from the local paper the others from free papers of what is going on around town. A couple of people on here used a bulletin board in the nearest city, but I never heard a response as to how well that worked. If I missed it, maybe someone on here can remember. I have a good memory, but it's not a steel trap! Great luck and keep us posted! Janet In a message dated 3/31/2010 6:26:51 P.M.

They sell, but don't bring much money because mobile homes tend to depreciate in value. The land is another story. If that mobile home were in Greenwich, Ct. where I live, it would bring a pretty penny because land here is still so valuable. The mobile home would be scrapped, and a new home would be built on the land. (This happens with 5 year old 10,000 square foot stick built homes as well.) But land is local, and you must know what your land would be worth to you if you were a buyer. Offer the land and mobile home for 1/2 what you think your land is worth. If you fail to get 25 responses from Craig's list by Friday night, pull the plug on the sale--your land is worth much less than you thought.

Has anyone else had experience with this type of sale? ____________________________________ _______________________________________________ 5-DayForum mailing list _5-DayForum at mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com_ (mailto:5-DayForum at mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com) _http://mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/5-dayforum _ (http://mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/5-dayforum) _______________________________________________ 5-DayForum mailing list _5-DayForum at mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com_ (mailto:5-DayForum at mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com) _http://mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/5-dayforum_ (http://mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/5-dayforum) _______________________________________________ 5-DayForum mailing list 5-DayForum at mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com http://mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/5-dayforum _______________________________________________ 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...

Maybe the two agents I worked with just didn't think it was ok .? I have only Flipped over 2200 homes and I really think in a normal market or even now that the first time home range is the easiest to sale on a "5 day sale". Higher priced homes are still hard to have the buyers due to the fact it is harder for them to qualify. ----- Origil Message ----- From: "James Fleming" < jamesfleming . realestate @ gmail .com> To: "How To Sell Your Home in 5-Days" <5-dayforum at mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 4:23:45 PM GMT -07:00 US/Canada Mountain Subject: Re: [5-DayForum] Investment Property Owned by Realtor I have to chime in with Dac and with Tom ?

You're REALTOR friends are mistaken if they feel that a 5-day sale is against their Code of Ethics. I would be interested in knowing what CoE article they feel they are violating. The important thing to understand about a 5-Day Sale is that it is NOT an auction. It is a technique for generating a high level of interest in your home thus creating a multiple offer situation. Many REALTORS monitor this forum and have successfully used this method to sell homes for themselves and their clients.?

Thanks to all for their support and advice! I am happy to report that as of Thursday at 8:30 p.m. I have answered 22 phone calls in response to our advertising. We posted 21 signs in high traffic areas around our home, put an ad in our (small) local newspaper and that of a larger town 25 miles away, and an Internet ad on a popular local classified site serving the area (Craig's list isn't effective here). I know we are a long way from having a signed contract, but I am SO excited to report that we have so many phone calls and it's not even Friday yet! This is our first time selling a house by any method and we are very excited about how this is all going to turn out. Thanks again!

Putting selling costs into the mix really isn't fair. Additionally, apparently in your market property values have not increased in the past 3 years. I guess you could always rent it monthly and list it on FSBO.com. I had a property that the highest bid was $135K, and then turned around and listed it on FSBO and received an offer of $150K. Just took a few months longer, which with no mortgage wasn't a big deal. Timing is so crucial with this method. Maybe a few months from now, your market will improve as well and you can ask for more. FYI, your starting bid doesn't matter. It's there to draw interest. It's not suppose to be an indicator of what you will ultimately be offered for your property. I wish you the greatest of luck in whatever you plan to do with this property in the future. Janet In a message dated 4/19/2010 9:21:59 P.M.

My husband had the day in Port Arthur before catching an early evening flight back home so he did what he could there before he left. We decided to check out a couple options. Got a realtor involved and asked some questions, after some research her thought was to list it for $35K, expect $30K, and for us to walk away with $27K after fees. Average time on market for our area is currently 109 days. My husband also called three property management companies to find out how that would work if we used them to rent it for us and take care of it. Like I mentioned before, we liked the idea of rental property but not being so far from it; but we'd never looked into what having someone else manage it for us would involve. A lady came and looked at the house and talked to my husband and they recommended renting it for significantly more than we would have been happy with. Our agreement with them would be for a year, so I think that is what we are going to do. If it doesn't pan out we can always sell it then. Maybe the market would be more to our liking at that point. And, hey, owning rental property is another way to get rich, huh?! So, onto our next real estate adventure. We are glad we did the 5-day method for several reasons. I wouldn't have wanted for the house to be sitting on the market for six months before realizing we weren't going to get what we wanted out of it. That could have been six months of lost rental income. And I have every intention of using the 5-day method next time we go to sell a home. ( . . . unless we decide to make our millions via rental property . . .) Anyway, thanks for the advice! I really do appreciate it.

Right now you might want to consider a land contract. If you can get a contract signed before the end of April, the buyer may qualify for the federal money, which can be your down payment. Then you don't have to consider yourself a landlord, but the bank! If you have a mortgage you can sell the property for a bit more, and charge monthly payments a bit higher than your mortgage payment. It is a lot less "fussy" than a lease option - you have no responsibility for repairs, and if they don't pay you can evict and do it all over again. (make sure your contract says this.) You will need a lawyer to draw up the paperwork. We have done this with two houses, both of which are 800 miles away from us, and we are very happy.

We also distributed about 150 flyers in the neighborhood of the property. Sad to say, we got very little interest, only 10 emails and 2 phone calls by the end of Friday. We canceled the open house. I do not believe that our price was too high based on comparative market analysis. My gut feeling is that we did not reach enough people just using the internet and the 150 flyers. Has anyone in this group been successful recently in the San Diego market with the 5-day sale. If so, how was your marketing done?

Our highest bid is $22,000. We thought it would go for $30-35K. We paid $25K for it three years ago and with all the expenses we had selling it (including plane ticket and rental car for my husband to return for this weekend), can't let it go for less than that. My husband is talking to our high bidder and breaking the news to her. Hopefully she can come up with something and we can make it work for both of us. We are thinking that possibly we put too low of price in our advertising and that hurt us. Any thoughts? We listed it as $14,500 (or Best Offer, you know how the ad goes), but are thinking we may have been better off with $19,500. What do you think? In the meantime we are considering other options--keep it as rental property (something we're not opposed to, but we live 16 hours away, means hiring someone closer to do on-site stuff for us), sell it traditionally (not my first choice), doing something with it for 6-12 months and then trying to sell it again with a higher starting price--I am really curious if that would have changed the final outcome. We do have options. We are bummed. We (of course) were hoping for a nice profit on the property. We've already relocated to be near family and we hoping to be free of the property there soon.

Message-ID: I've had two real estate lawyers recommend against a 5 day sale due to potentially being forced to sell a house at 50% of the value.

I know it will work on medium priced property, but does it work on the 2x and 3x medium priced houses? There's a "guru" putting on a high-price boot camp about targeting houses $1-5 million homes, getting an option on the property, then selling with either a Round Robin or Outright auction. Does it work? Thanks, Lynn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: The lawyer's point was that in advertising that creates a "general solicitation" you become obligated to sell something at an advertised price. An example would be if an electronics store advertised a ultra big screen tv at a unbelievable bargain price. As a consumer if you went to buy store and offered them the asking price, they would be legally obligated to sell the product at the advertised price. This is why all major retailers include some fine print somewhere in their ad that excludes them being obligated to sell the product in the case of mis-prints, typos, etc. Although an agreement to sell real-estate has to be in writing, the advertisement which includes a bargain price is a very risky move. Even including the words "best offer over" could case a problem if the best offer isn't a price you can live with. The fact that the best offer may be less than you owe, is your problem- not the buyers. I want to use this method, but haven't had enough guts to risk a major loss after a legal battle. I'm hopeful one of you has some good legal points to counter the advise I described above. -----Original Message----- From: doar at comcast.net Date: Sat, 24 Apr 2010 14:41:21 To: <5-dayforum at mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com> Subject: Re: [5-DayForum] Getting ready for a 5 Day Sale....

References: Message-ID: <78F65A965F1B49FC98505A26C0013265@rosemarifv6onv> There is loads of discussion about this on the forum. Bottom line - you yourself can be the highest bidder, or your bank, if the mortgage is higher than your best offer. You can tell your highest bidder that you have a bid in the amount that you need, and see what happens. If they can't go there, they drop out and are no longer part of the action. You are not a retail store! In the couple of years or so that I have been part of this group, I have never seen anyone have a problem - lots of fear and worry, but no actuality! There have also been several cases, including mine, in which the highest bid didn't reach the mortgage amount, and the high bidder agreed to raise the offer after the official Round Robin was over. Don't let yourself be paralyzed by fear.

As a consumer if you went to buy store and offered them the asking price, they would be legally obligated to sell the product at the advertised price. This is why all major retailers include some fine print somewhere in their ad that excludes them being obligated to sell the product in the case of mis-prints, typos, etc. Although an agreement to sell real-estate has to be in writing, the advertisement which includes a bargain price is a very risky move. Even including the words "best offer over" could case a problem if the best offer isn't a price you can live with. The fact that the best offer may be less than you owe, is your problem- not the buyers. I want to use this method, but haven't had enough guts to risk a major loss after a legal battle. I'm hopeful one of you has some good legal points to counter the advise I described above. -----Original Message----- From: doar at comcast.net Date: Sat, 24 Apr 2010 14:41:21 To: <5-dayforum at mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com> Subject: Re: [5-DayForum] Getting ready for a 5 Day Sale.... Big mistake to bring lawyers into the mix. They are notorious for giving bad advice and charging an arm and a leg for it. You can always count on them erring on the side of caution and telling you not to do something. There is no legal obligation to sell anything at any price, real estate included, until you agree on a price and sign a contract. This has been pointed out and proven time and time again. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Kiefer" To: Janetislight at aol.com, 5-dayforum at mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 3:00:40 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: Re: [5-DayForum] Getting ready for a 5 Day Sale....

We started our advertising using this billboard, which was placed on the road to Chardon (the county seat). It was up during last week's Maple Festival, which draws many thousands of people, so we know lots of people got to see it. During the time that it was up, we averaged one call per day. Therefore, the billboard brought us roughly 15 phone calls so far. But, yesterday we had an offer for $150,000. He claimed he was a first time buyer and wanted to beat the April 30 tax credit deadline. I told him he would save more money by purchasing my home on May 3rd. Anyways, here's what the billboard looked like: This method of advertising created no small stir in the little township of Hambden where we live - no one had ever seen such a thing before. People are still commenting about it. That's good for us. "Once a week" local advertising kicked in during last week - I'll explain more another time, and we have 30 calls and 8 email inquiries. Our inspection dates are this weekend (May 1st and 2nd) with the round-robin bidding to follow on Monday evening. Our house is in its final state of readiness and we are reaching the climax of the process. Once people understand that they are *not* dealing with a Realty or with an Auction company, they generally lose their adversarial attitude and simply ask questions. We look forward to a house full of potential buyers and meeting some new friends. I have a question for the forum: During the round-robin auction, if one of the bidders asks how many people are left in the bidding process, is there a problem telling them? This process has been a real blessing for us. We've even had some callers comment on what a great idea this is. Thank you, Bill Effros, for publishing this method of marketing and selling your home. Thanks for your responses and support. We'll let you know how this all turns out. Rich and Barb Lang -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have done 5 day sales on many different properties and helped others do them, it works. Every time? no. The difference is if the seller is realistic about what their property is worth or not. I have attended many seminars over 25 years and some are good and some are excellent and some are garbage. I know of one specific former client who paid thousands of dollars to a guru and ended up with a basement full of signs, a nice paint job on a truck saying he buys houses and on the first transaction ended up refunding all of the monies and getting a nice letter from the real estate commission instructing him not to do it again. There are legitimate seminars, real estate instructors, educational real estate books like "How to Sell Your Home in 5 Days"(thank you Bill) and then there are other. Caveat Emptor.

Just my opinion as I have been to several and it goes like this, Seller has had $1m propery on the market for a year with no success, you come along and offer $500k, seller jumps at the offer, you put sign in the yard with 5 day sale and get bids to 700k and you make 200k with back to back closings. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. If it really worked like that they wouldn't be doing seminars.

It's over "hashed." So, for the time being, I'm done commenting on whether this method is legal or not. It is. Thousands of people have done it. I even had one where I did not accept the highest bid. Absolutely NO problem. If you are going to buy the book, and you want to sell your house; relax. It's all good. If you want to listen to attorney's and pay their fees to tell you what they know nothing about..... return the book. Stop thinking about it and get a realtor to list your property in the traditional way. Whatever lets you sleep at night is the best way to go. That's how life in every aspect is managed. I hope we can move on to more sales talk and less pessimistic talk. That would let ME sleep better at night! :) The Greatest of Luck to All of You!!!!! No Matter What You Decide!!!! Janet P. S.

I have used this method on and off for about 6 years now. Even though the sale didn't produce the desired result for the seller,it did produce an opportunity to give the sellera reality check. The experience should have brought an adjustment to the seller's perception. I have been in your situation. List the property traditionally at the bare minimum that the seller will accept and put a clause in the listing that they agree to drop the price by 1-2% every two weeks until sold. If they don't agree they are not motivated sellers. Move on. This market only abides motivated sellers.

This method really does let you know what your house is actually worth. FYI we have a dog of a house in Florida that last year had a tax assessment of $250,000, and now the assessment is $65,000. Since our mortgage is $202,000 we cannot sell it. you might want to share our sad tale with your seller. This is just a crappy time to think you can make any money selling your house! Especially in Florida! Rosemarie ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason Jodway To: How To Sell Your Home in 5-Days Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 10:46 AM Subject: Re: [5-DayForum] When the final price is not high enough The truth of the matter is that what the seller thinks the property is worth is in no way related to what it is actually worth. That is completely up to the buyers' perception and their ability to pay. Florida has been hit really hard by the real estate bubble's inflated prices and the resulting contraction and thus prices SEEM way less than they should be while in truth are stabilizing back to what the market can actually pay for them. While it is possible you did not have 2-3 real buyers, if you had plenty of traffic looking at the property, and it seems to me that you did, chances are the best offer was fairly close to the true value you could hope to get for the property at this exact point in time. If the seller is unwilling to accept that price then it simply is not the appropriate time for the seller to be selling. On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 12:21 PM, Marnetta Arnett wrote: Hello!

This past weekend, many of the buyers attending only had cash or pre-qualification for up to about $120K, so had to drop out of bidding early on. We drove price up to $150K, but seller is insisting home is worth so much more. Might just keep this one listed for awhile, but don't think will sell for much more than this bidding could bring.

Florida got hit kind of hard in the economic tumble. Your sellers probably are unrealistic. This is a great method in a stable, climbing market. However; in a market like yours, reality isn't always pretty. Keep up the good work. You are getting good turnout and a nice number of bids. I think you are getting the real value reflected in the bidding. Janet In a message dated 4/28/2010 9:26:33 A.M. Central Daylight Time, centralfloridaproperty at yahoo.com writes: Hello!

To: 5-dayforum at mailman.howtosellyourhomein5days.com Date: Friday, April 30, 2010, 7:44 AM Paul, In my area, both for me and two other 5 day sellers here, signs give us over 90% of our responses, and yours aren't even going up until the deadline is in sight. Get your signs up ASAP and see what happens. Wait until around 9:00 before making your decision. It will be interesting to see your response today, as this is when your most favorable advertising is going into effect. Even your flyers are coming out late. I hope your phone rings off the hook tonight. Keep us posted. Janet In a message dated 4/29/2010 10:46:47 P.M.

As of now-- Thursday 11pm-- I?ve received 1 call, 1 email and some # of people have taken flyers from my flyer box in the front yard? a couple of folks have expressed interest. Not throwing in the towel yet?and won?t have latest flyer count until Friday evening, but the low response so far has me wonder if I would really be wise to hold the inspection & sale this weekend. ? 25 ?responses? else must postpone sale? Want to properly assess the risk. 50 info signs are ready for placement in the area Friday late afternoon. Though I have a community sign permit it will be challenging to not violate their stringent rules. Have good professional sign in the front yard (and home grown one for 10 days prior). Also a few newspaper ads and various electronic media. Got stopped cold by the city when tacking flyers to mailboxes on Monday so I have resorted to mailing a nice flyer to 150 residents who are to receive Thursday / Friday before sale weekend. This sale is of personal importance so I appreciate your valuable feedback. Thanks in advance.

I priced the ad in the AJC (the Atlanta newspaper) and they wanted $900 for the five days. That?s the only daily newspaper I have been able to locate. There?s a couple other weekly papers that I thought I?d put my ad in, but it doesn?t get the 5-day consecutive ad effect that the book talks about. I?ve also been unable to locate a billboard. I?m wondering if that?s out of my price range too. I?ve priced mailers and that seems extremely expensive too. I know that advertising is key to the success of this auction. I?ll be traveling down there for the two day inspection (which will cost me ~$250), so I want to make sure we advertise properly. Unfortunately, I don?t have thousands to put into promoting this sale. Any guidance would be appreciated! Thank you.
