I watched a case study video at this site, and it really did follow the book's process.? And the owner had a high end valuation of his property at 150,000, and received 149,900.? Shazam!!!? Another success story.? BTW, I went to Auction By Seller Link. I had a 5-day sale and sold my house.? Many on here have sold houses this way.? I guess the best place to start unraveling your confusion is to state specifically how you feel the processes differ.

Again, this Auction is not how the 5 day sale is run.? I am really confused by all of this email, it does not appear to be how the book outlines a 5 day sale.? I would really like to know any information about a 5 day sale in the Tacoma/Gig Harbor WA area.? I would like to hear from people who did this without the use of a consultant, or an auction.? I am really second guessing whether this book holds true to what it is selling.? D?Arcy

Hi Nancy,
What I normally do is identify how much I want to sell or rent the house for and then half that to set up my starting bid. So in this case you would have to include how much you owe and the amount of profit you want to make in your final desired sale price. 
I hope this helps you.

I saw this email come in and decided to write a quick response.  First, to
Nancy, who states that she has the book but also indicates that she does not
know how much to ask,  I suggest to you to read what Bill wrote about
setting your price.  His explanation is crystal clear and details pricing
from every perspective.  Second, to Esther, how much a person owes and how
much a person wants to profit have nothing to do with setting your starting
price in a 5-day sale.  In missing that point you are missing one of the key
messages of the book.  

 

As an aside, advertising exponential returns to investors is a red flag for
not only investors but also law enforcement agencies.  You may want to get
some guidance on this.

Hello Bill, I am excited to have found your book and appreciate your forum.
After finding out about your concept from my husband (wise man he is) and
reading up I think it makes perfect sense.  I am planning to do a 5-Day Sale
on the weekend of March 19-21st. As I read through the old posts I am
picking up good advice. Lot's to do to prepare but I think it will be worth
it. If there are any recent success stories in FL I would enjoy hearing what
price they achieved. I look forward to your support during the next 7 weeks.

Faith, 



I planned a 5 day sale in North Florida last December. I did a poor job of attracting interested buyers. I had only 6 people contact me by Friday night. I contacted? everyone to let them know the auction was cancelled due to less than 25 responses. I emphasized that I was still a motivated seller. One of the couples that responded, came and made an offer that I gladly accepted that Sunday. The low starting bid price was clearly a strong attraction. 

I recommend getting as many ideas from the folks on this forum to attract those 25 plus phone calls. I have family in Fort Myers. That is currently a realy tough market. I think the 5 day sale could be just the thing to find those buyers.

Please keep in touch about your sale. I bought the book some years ago because we needed to sell a duplex in LeHigh Acres. I never ran that sale because of the difficulties of doing it from a distance (we live in North Carolina.) In the meantime, the tax value of the property has gone from $250,000 to $65,000. It looks impossible - we will have to let it go into foreclosure now. What a nightmare! As an investment, this property was a hole in the pocket. 
Anyway, I have sold other properties here using the 5-day sale, and I am a regular on the forum. I look forward to cheering you on in your successful sale, and perhaps picking up some ideas on the Fort Myers market.
All the very best of good luck
Rosemarie

I am planning a 5 day sale in about two weeks. I have had my home list for
60 days and not bites. the broker sucked as well. I have taken it off the
market and decided to do the 5 day auction. However I have a question, is it
best to still run an ad in the local paper that not many people read or
Craig's list, or both?

Rosemarie,
 
So sorry about your property, can you at least work with the bank on  
getting something out of it?
 
Janet

Please keep in touch about your sale. I bought  the book some years ago 
because we needed to sell a duplex in LeHigh Acres. I  never ran that sale 
because of the difficulties of doing it from a distance  (we live in North 
Carolina.) In the meantime, the tax value of the property  has gone from $250,000 
to $65,000. It looks impossible - we will have to let  it go into 
foreclosure now. What a nightmare! As an investment, this property  was a hole in the 
pocket. 
Anyway, I have sold other properties here using  the 5-day sale, and I am a 
regular on the forum. I look forward to cheering  you on in your successful 
sale, and perhaps picking up some ideas on the Fort  Myers market.
All the very best of good luck
Rosemarie

Hello Bill, I am excited to have  found your book and appreciate your 
forum. After finding out about your  concept from my husband (wise man he is) and 
reading up I think it makes  perfect sense.  I am planning to do a 5-Day 
Sale on the weekend of  March 19-21st. As I read through the old posts I am 
picking up  good advice. Lot?s to do to prepare but I think it will be worth  
it. If there are any recent success stories in FL I would enjoy hearing what 
 price they achieved. I look forward to your support during the next 7  
weeks. 
Faith

Jim,
 
You are going to get mixed answers to this question.  Craig's doesn't  work 
that well here.  Didn't get one bite from it.  Got a few from the  
newspaper.  Signs brought in around 19.  You can also list on FSBO  which if I had 
experience with it I would have used for my sale, and will in the  future.  I 
get a lot of feed back from that.  Some have had really  good results from 
flyers.  They held a garage sale and handed them out and  also used a post 
office list.  The avenues are endless!!!  Another  used a billboard, though I 
don't recall hearing how that turned out.
 
Keep us posted and the Greatest of luck on your sale.
 
Janet

Hi Janet and "Getfitdna" (sorry but I didn't see your name).

 

Thank you for your encouragement. I am quite motivated and believe the 5-Day
will work. It makes total sense! 

 

My home is quite charming and on a great street/location in our area so I
feel confident that the right buyer will show up. The issue is as you stated
is that Fort Myers as made it in the news again and again in the past 2
years for having dropped like a rocket which it has. .my neighbors home sold
in a short sale for $150k below what I know it is worth. So while I have had
my home on the market for what I believe was a fair price I had other issues
going against me. Property is now fortunately moving but I am tired of
leaving it in the hands of well meaning but not very motivated realtors. I
really don't think they are salesmen rather they are merely warm bodies in
many ways holding open houses and hoping. I am finished with "hoping" and
ready to take this project on my own. 

 

I have an home inspector coming tomorrow along with my handy man so we can
do a pre inspection in order to repair any items I may be missing and then
the inspection report will be drafted after a second visit to see what we
took care of. 

Next up will be an appraisal.that is what I am holding my breath for. (I
wish I could have advised you on that Lehigh Acres property.I know from afar
Lehigh looked like a good investment but it is in the boonies and was never
going to be a success IMO).

 

I am watching the Forum and reading back archives to pick up ideas. I was
thinking of advertising on Craigslist, local paper and some fliers at local
churches and the nearby Hospital and country club (my neighborhood has long
time residents with extended families so I think very local advertising will
work). But I didn't think of FSBO so thank you .I will look into that as
well. 

 

I am focused and excited and appreciate your support. I will keep you posted
and of course any other good ideas are appreciated.

Faith

I apologize. I forgot to sign my name on my e-mail. I'm Chris. I'm interested in how you do. If I can get out of town that weekend I'll check you out. Craigs list was where I got my responses 

I left my e-mail address on Craigs list, and my phone number in the paper ad. The e-mail responses were much stronger than phone calls.

Hello- Just a quick suggestion. I just ran a 5-Day in Palm Coast FL for one
of our investment properties. The method defiantly works in regards to
drawing attention to your property and getting the prospects in your home.
Our biggest obstacle and note worthy complaint about this method is this: If
you don't explain* Exactly* how this method works and How exactly a
Round-Robin bidding process is performed, the prospects will and do get
confused, resulting in mixed emotions and a possible "scam" like sales
method. we would explain the process as best we could....and just see it in
the buyers face...an alarm going off in the back off their mind saying " I
knew it was to good to be true...thank for wasting my time"

I believe the most crucial element in the 5- Day sale is to e*educate*
and *comfort
*the Prospective Buyer!

Good Luck! And you will create plenty of action if you truly list (or
advertise starting bid) for the property for Half of the true current market
value....which sounds like half of the sale price of your neighbors
short-sale price. Unfortunately....That is The Market!

Hi Faith,
You don't need tp pay for an appraisal. It is a waste of money. Go on Zillow. Do not take their electronic opinion but look at the comparible solds within 2 miles of your home in the last 4 months. That will give you a TRUE base line from which you can decide where to start your discounted start to bidding.

Two things about the description of your situation make me nervous for you. First you say that you "believe" your home was listed at a fair price. Did it generate any offers maybe a "low ball" offer. If not, you were probably significanly off in your price Price sells real estate. Second, you said that the system will bring you the "right" buyer. The system is set up to move the property quickly at a realistic price. It is not a "magic bullet".  Good Luck. Conrad

Thank you all for your nice notes and info. I am not sure how to effectively
respond to each of your notes directly so I will do so in one post:

 

Rosemarie.I forgot to offer any help on my end for your property in Lehigh
Acres. Being so close by, I would be happy to help in anyway.

 

Janet.thank you for your well wishes.I am a believer that others pulling for
you make a difference.

 

Conrad.I should have mentioned.I did have a true offer on my home in October
for $355k. The buyer had one glitch (as a co-signer on another small loan)
which caused the bank to disallow her to obtain a mortgage for six months.
It was unfortunate as that is the price I believed and still believe my
house is worth. Since that time Zillow has dropped my price to $325k. I
would love to get $350k.(I paid $315k almost 7 years ago) and am hopeful
that by the time my 5Day sale occurs (still about 5 weeks away) Zillow will
have my price up a bit. I will take a look at other homes in the area in
addition to the general price Zillow has per your suggestion.

 

Also, as far as an appraisal.I thought I read in Bill's book it was a good
idea to have an appraisal out on the table. I would love to skip that step
and as I think about it.what sense does it make with this approach!

 

Chris.so Craigslist really worked for you. (I sold an RV last summer on
Craigslist so I am a believer). Question though.since the Craigslist format
is different than what Bill's print ad allows did you just include the same
information in the format that Craigslist will allow? What was the listing
line you used in your ad that attracted attention if I may ask? And oh, I
would love for you to come by on the weekend of my sale. Let's keep in touch
as it gets closer.

 

Justin.Your warning about being VERY clear in describing the process so as
not to sound like a scam is very good advice. I plan to stick to the truth
which is that I have been trying to sell for over a year and keep guessing
at what a fair price is. With this round robin I am one step away from
finally getting the real price. That with this process we are all going to
find out a fair price and you, the buyer may or may not want to pay the
price. This is as fair and considerate a method I can think of for all
parties.as the buyer they get to bid without pressure as they wish. How does
that sound?

 

As far as my "asking price" .I am torn between using $149,500 and $174,500. 

I was thinking of using $174,500 so I can say that it is 50% of what I am
hoping for but of course a lower price will always grab attention. Any
thoughts? Oh, the house next door sold for $310K as a short sale last March
and Zillow has it priced at $437k. Using that value per square foot.my house
would be $325k as I mentioned. A few more weeks and the right people and I
may just get close to my $350k.

 

Thank you all again!

Faith

Faith, 



I posted my craiglist ad early evenings on the week days so that it would be close to the top when people got home from work and checked it out. I worded the ad almost identical to the recommended paper ad, but expanded the house description and included a picture. Since I posted the ad in the evening, I started on Tuesday evening, not Wednesday evening. I would post Sat and Sun ads early morning.

Thank you all for your nice notes and info. I am not sure how to effectively respond to each of your notes directly so I will do so in one post: 



Rosemarie?I forgot to offer any help on my end for your property in Lehigh Acres. Being so close by, I would be happy to help in anyway. 



Janet?thank you for your well wishes?I am a believer that others pulling for you make a difference. 



Conrad?I should have mentioned?I did have a true offer on my home in October for $355k. The buyer had one glitch (as a co-signer on another small loan) which caused the bank to disallow her to obtain a mortgage for six months. It was unfortunate as that is the price I believed and still believe my house is worth. Since that time Zillow has dropped my price to $325k. I would love to get $350k?(I paid $315k almost 7 years ago) and am hopeful that by the time my 5Day sale occurs (still about 5 weeks away) Zillow will have my price up a bit. I will take a look at other homes in the area in addition to the general price Zillow has per your suggestion. 



Al so, as far as an appraisal?I thought I read in Bill?s book it was a good idea to have an appraisal out on the table. I would love to skip that step and as I think about it?what sense does it make with this approach! 



Chris?so Craigslist really worked for you. (I sold an RV last summer on Craigslist so I am a believer). Question though?since the Craigslist format is different than what Bill?s print ad allows did you just include the same information in the format that Craigslist will allow? What was the listing line you used in your ad that attracted attention if I may ask? And oh, I would love for you to come by on the weekend of my sale. Let?s keep in touch as it gets closer. 



Justin?Your warning about being VERY clear in describing the process so as not to sound like a scam is very good advice. I plan to stick to the truth which is that I have been trying to sell for over a year and keep guessing at what a fair price is. With this round robin I am one step away from finally getting the real price. That with this process we are all going to find out a fair price and you, the buyer may or may not want to pay the price. This is as fair and considerate a method I can think of for all parties?as the buyer they get to bid without pressure as they wish. How does that sound? 



As far as my ?asking price? ?I am torn between using $149,500 and $174,500. 

I was thinking of using $174,500 so I can say that it is 50% of what I am hoping for but of course a lower price will always grab attention. Any thoughts? Oh, the house next door sold for $310K as a short sale last March and Zillow has it priced at $437k. Using that value per square foot?my house would be $325k as I mentioned. A few more weeks and the right people and I may just get close to my $350k. 



Thank you all again! 

Faith

I would use the lower number.  It is obviously the price per square  foot 
in your area at the moment.  I would also wait until it gets closer to  your 
sale date and check again.  And just because you use half of the  lower 
amount, does not mean you won't get the higher amount if that is what it  is 
worth.  Make sense?
 
You are going to sell your house!

Hi Faith
Thanks for your offer of help - I'm afraid it's a lost cause.
As far as your advertised price - all it is for is to attract as many people as possible to your sale. Remember, the prospective buyers don't know about the 50% rule. You just want the number that will attract the most people, and Bill has found that 50% or so works. Don't get hung up on this.
Rosemarie

Sue,

Check with your attorney.  In my state no one may collect money from a real 
estate transaction without a real estate license. (This is not legal advice. 
I am not an attorney.)

I read the book in December. I advertised in The Times
Union(Jacksonville, FL) and craigs list exactly as the book described. I
gave additional information and included a picture on the craigs list
ad. My house was in a rural area just south of Jacksonville.
By Friday night I had 1 response from the paper, and 5 responses from
craigs list. I canceled the ad. I still sold the house that Sunday to
someone responding to the craigs list ad. I was overjoyed.
 
My Problem.
 
I would like to sell a house in a rural area a little closer to
Gainesville (Gainesville Sun News Paper) , than Jacksonville, FL.
I'm looking for advise on how to increase my responses. I believe I had
it priced right the first time. $74,500 starting bid, sold for $146,000
cash. And if I had a bidding process, I think the sale price would have
been a little higher.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
Chris

In Texas, we have the same problem with the "Cannot collect money from a  
real estate transaction" unless you are an agent. 
 
I consult for people in the San Antonio area and the way around that glitch 
 is by using an "Option to Purchase" agreement.  At that point, I have a  
vested interested in the property and am able to help the seller sell their 
home  using the 5 day auction method. 
 
Hope this helps,
 
Janine

Has anyone else done this is Colorado? We live in a small mountain town and 
 we are not sure where to advertise. Also, do we need a real estate agent 
or  lawyer to do this?

You don't need a real estate agent, but you do need a title company and/or  
a lawyer for the paperwork.  I know I have seen someone from Colorado on  
here do this.  You may want to check the archives.
 
Greatest of luck to you!  Keep us posted,

 Do not get a real estate agent involved. They will want part of your money. Use a Real estate attorney for the closing and for legal advise if you feel better. You can do it alone. Take a deep breath.

 Yes a title company can and if you have no experience with contracts you should have someone else do it for you. I personally like real estate attorneys. The title companies are limited by the amount of advise they can give and the types of addendum they can process by their computer program and by legal ethics governed by their state. An attorney will close for the same price and can handle quirks.

All that information is on the website and also in the book. To check on the website, I just googled 5-day sales to make sure it would pop up, and it did. Also, you can go to the archives and read the experiences of the people on this forum.
Good luck

Ramification is 3 to 6% for your agent without them doing much work.  However, if you work with your agent by having them do your advertising on mls, you will get more exposure to your home.

 You must fire your agent first. Either ask the agent to break the contract or wait for the contract to finish naturally. If you sell your house while under the agent they will still want the commission. Also if you sell your house to someone that the agent showed it to while under contract they will still want their cut.

Not so ...just have your agent take the property out of the MLS the weekend 
 of the inspection and sale.  You will still have to pay your listing 
agent,  but will not be obligated to pay a coop to the outside.
 
Good Luck!

I think the point is not paying the agent.  Therefore, you need to get  the 
agent out of the loop.

I disagree Janet, the point is to sell the property in the shortest amount of time for top dollar with the least amount of expense and inconvenience.  Paying a Realtor to write the contracts and seeing the transaction to closing may be less expenseive than paying an attorney to do the same. If a Realtor brought a buyer to the sale would you cut him/her out also?  The smart seller would include the buyer and add the Buyers' Broker's fee to the contract price if the buyer were the top bidder.

Tom....Broker/Owner,
 
In answer to your question, yes.  When I did a 5-day sale, I did not  pay 
any broker.  Mine or the buyer's.  That's one of the points of  this whole 
process.  And a real estate attorney, depending on your homes  value, is MUCH 
cheaper than a broker.  For example.  My home sold for  150,000.  Realtors 
fees would have been 6% which is $9,000.  Let's say  I only pay one realtor, 
and make it $4,500.  My attorney charged $500 for  the contracts and 
paperwork.  Which is standard stuff.  And $500 to  read the abstract.  (We don't 
have title's in Iowa, but land  abstracts.)  Ta da!!!  I put a minimum of 
$3,500 in my pocket on that  one transaction.  If I did 6 of these a year, which 
is completely feasible,  that would be $21,000 saved.  For me, paying no 
one, that's $48,000 extra  in my pocket per year.  I kind of like that idea.  
;)

Realtors will almost always, except for the enlightened ones, get upset when they see a person selling a home without the help of the realty community. They want their cake and yours too. At this point they should be happy because you will help to raise the neighborhood comps. The main point in the 5-Day sale is "DO IT YOURSELF"
Isn't that why you bought the book. If you do not sell your house then it is the Realtor's turn.

Earl

RE:
 
 "The smart seller would include the buyer and add the Buyers'   Broker's
fee to the contract price if the buyer were the top   bidder."

 

 

I have had my house on the market with a broker for over a year now (guess I
just didn't price it right). As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago..I will be
doing my own 5 Day Sale in a month. I currently have a realtor but he forgot
to have me sign a renewal to our arrangement so we are currently working
outside of a contract. 
That being said, if my buyer ends up buying my home as a result of a realtor
then sure, if I can add the Broker's fee to the contract price that would
certainly work on my end.any thoughts as to how to disclose this early on to
make it clear that the buyer is in essence paying his own broker's fee
without muddying the water.

 

Thank you,

Faith

I am working with a local attorney for my closing and he sent over a blank

inspection within 10 days. I just had my home inspected and will have that
report available during my open house. Should I still allow the buyer to
have that right?

 It sounds like you are truly networking and I applaud you. As you say, today's market is tough,but, I do believe this tis the time for investors and the 5 day sell method is dynamite for them. Sometimes homeowners do expect too much or have to have too much to pay their mortgages. In those situations they need to look at other methods like short sales or refinance with their bank to save their credit.. It is always best to pull up comps and get a fair market appraisal like a BPO before having a 5 day sale. This lets you get a reality check.

Earl,

 

You are right, the market is very tough.  Because of this, I couldn?t agree more with Tom.  If I were still representing sellers, I would encourage them all to do 5-day sales (modified for Realtor compliance).  And, like Tom, it wouldn?t matter to me if I made a dime from those sales.  Why?   Because the buyer leads ? unsuccessful bidders ? generated from 5-day sales are priceless.  For a Realtor trying to make a living in this market, the shortest distance to a pay check is achieved by working with buyers.  Imagine the phenomenal boost in business that comes from finding dozens of new buyers every month.  Realtors who don?t get that are missing a golden, no platinum, no unobtainium opportunity!

 

Jim F. ? Realtor

Vancouver WA

Comps are good but there is nothing like real live buyers telling a seller what they are willing to pay.

It sounds like you are truly networking and I applaud you. As you say, today's market is tough,but, I do believe this tis the time for investors and the 5 day sell method is dynamite for them. Sometimes homeowners do expect too much or have to have too much to pay their mortgages. In those situations they need to look at other methods like short sales or refinance with their bank to save their credit.. It is always best to pull up comps and get a fair market appraisal like a BPO before having a 5 day sale. This lets you get a reality check.

There are also many enlightened consumers. I have several investor clients who I do the "Sales" for free. I will have a sale coming in mid march which they will make over 40k which isn't bad for 6 weeks of work and one home. While they are doing the work I am locating their next project.  I will get paid when they purchase the houses and from the list of unsuccessful bidders at the sale when I find them homes. I really truly wish all homes were sold using this method because of its transparency. In today's market for a Realtor to be upset with someone trying to sell their own home is a luxury. The wonderful fact for most FSBO's is it brings them back to reality. I recently was asked to list a home for 50k more than I told them it was worth. I convinced them a 5 day sale was the way to go.
They expected 225k and the highest bid was 172k. They have decided to wait another year and hope the market gets better.

Realtors will almost always, except for the enlightened ones, get upset when they see a person selling a home without the help of the realty community. They want their cake and yours too. At this point they should be happy because you will help to raise the neighborhood comps. The main point in the 5-Day sale is "DO IT YOURSELF"
Isn't that why you bought the book. If you do not sell your house then it is the Realtor's turn.

Tom....Broker/Owner,
 
In answer to your question, yes.  When I did a 5-day sale, I did not pay any broker.  Mine or the buyer's.  That's one of the points of this whole process.  And a real estate attorney, depending on your homes value, is MUCH cheaper than a broker.  For example.  My home sold for 150,000.  Realtors fees would have been 6% which is $9,000.  Let's say I only pay one realtor, and make it $4,500.  My attorney charged $500 for the contracts and paperwork.  Which is standard stuff.  And $500 to read the abstract.  (We don't have title's in Iowa, but land abstracts.)  Ta da!!!  I put a minimum of $3,500 in my pocket on that one transaction.  If I did 6 of these a year, which is completely feasible, that would be $21,000 saved.  For me, paying no one, that's $48,000 extra in my pocket per year.  I kind of like that idea.  ;)

I disagree Janet, the point is to sell the property in the shortest amount of time for top dollar with the least amount of expense and inconvenience.  Paying a Realtor to write the contracts and seeing the transaction to closing may be less expenseive than paying an attorney to do the same. If a Realtor brought a buyer to the sale would you cut him/her out also?  The smart seller would include the buyer and add the Buyers' Broker's fee to the contract price if the buyer were the top bidder.

 Jim
Thank you for that information. As an investor I am always looking for people to buy my houses. I will do a 5 day sale now with much more enthusiasm and endear all comers as future buyers. Even the buyers who do not qualify for a full bank mortgage can receive help from creative financing.
This is the reason people need to get on this forum. There is a lot of great information here for everybody. Great Luck
Earl

Earl,
 
You are right, the market is very tough.  Because of this, I couldn?t agree more with Tom.  If I were still representing sellers, I would encourage them all to do 5-day sales (modified for Realtor compliance).  And, like Tom, it wouldn?t matter to me if I made a dime from those sales.  Why?   Because the buyer leads ? unsuccessful bidders ? generated from 5-day sales are priceless.  For a Realtor trying to make a living in this market, the shortest distance to a pay check is achieved by working with buyers.  Imagine the phenomenal boost in business that comes from finding dozens of new buyers every month.  Realtors who don?t get that are missing a golden, no platinum, no unobtainium opportunity!

one,  that's $48,000 extra in my pocket per year.  I kind of like that  idea.

I disagree Janet, the point is to sell the property in the  shortest amount

 Paying a Realtor to write the contracts and seeing the  transaction to 
closing may be less expenseive than paying an attorney to do  the same. If a 
Realtor brought a buyer to the sale would you cut him/her out  also?  The 
smart seller would include the buyer and add the Buyers'  Broker's fee to the 
contract price if the buyer were the top  bidder.

I think the point is not paying the agent.  Therefore, you need to  get the 
agent out of the loop.

I just had my home inspected and will have that report available during my open house. Should I still allow the buyer to have that right?

Faith,
In most states home are sold "as is" with buyers right of inspection. If you tell a buyer they can't inspect then you are opening yourself up to getting sued if something comes up after closing.

Good Luck,

Conrad

Hello, My name is Buddy and I am wanting to do a 5day sale in Orlando Fla. I have two Questions
1. Has anyone run into a situation where the final bid was not enough to cover all the cost and you decide you do not want to take the last offer. Is there any Legal problem if you decide not to do it? I am thinking about the ad that is put out that says house will be sold to highest bidder. Can highest bidder force you to sell to them? Am I guilt of false advertising? Am I breaking some law? 

I guess that was more than one Q.
2. Next topic, Is the 25 rule Golden? Has anyone sold with less?

-




I agree with Tom on this point 100% ... this is one of the best advantages of the 5 Day Sale approach in my opinion.  I would also add "and like or dislike about the seller's property" to Tom's comment.

It sounds like you are truly networking and I applaud you. As you say, today's market is tough,but, I do believe this tis the time for investors and the 5 day sell method is dynamite for them. Sometimes homeowners do expect too much or have to have too much to pay their mortgages. In those situations they need to look at other methods like short sales or refinance with their bank to save their credit.. It is always best to pull up comps and get a fair market appraisal like a BPO before having a 5 day sale. This lets you get a reality check.

There are also many enlightened consumers. I have several investor clients who I do the "Sales" for free. I will have a sale coming in mid march which they will make over 40k which isn't bad for 6 weeks of work and one home. While they are doing the work I am locating their next project.  I will get paid when they purchase the houses and from the list of unsuccessful bidders at the sale when I find them homes. I really truly wish all homes were sold using this method because of its transparency. In today's market for a Realtor to be upset with someone trying to sell their own home is a luxury. The wonderful fact for most FSBO's is it brings them back to reality. I recently was asked to list a home for 50k more than I told them it was worth. I convinced them a 5 day sale was the way to go.
They expected 225k and the highest bid was 172k. They have decided to wait another year and hope the market gets better.

Realtors will almost always, except for the enlightened ones, get upset when they see a person selling a home without the help of the realty community. They want their cake and yours too. At this point they should be happy because you will help to raise the neighborhood comps. The main point in the 5-Day sale is "DO IT YOURSELF"
Isn't that why you bought the book. If you do not sell your house then it is the Realtor's turn.

Tom....Broker/Owner,
 
In answer to your question, yes.  When I did a 5-day sale, I did not pay any broker.  Mine or the buyer's.  That's one of the points of this whole process.  And a real estate attorney, depending on your homes value, is MUCH cheaper than a broker.  For example.  My home sold for 150,000.  Realtors fees would have been 6% which is $9,000.  Let's say I only pay one realtor, and make it $4,500.  My attorney charged $500 for the contracts and paperwork.  Which is standard stuff.  And $500 to read the abstract.  (We don't have title's in Iowa, but land abstracts.)  Ta da!!!  I put a minimum of $3,500 in my pocket on that one transaction.  If I did 6 of these a year, which is completely feasible, that would be $21,000 saved.  For me, paying no one, that's $48,000 extra in my pocket per year.  I kind of like that idea.  ;)

Buddy, 



Regarding the 25 rule, since I am new I will let others tell you how stricly you should stick to that rule. I unfortunely had only 7 responses. When I contacted everyone to cancel the showing and auction, I was very clear in telling them Why, and that I was more motivated than ever to sell the house. The buyer turned out to be in my 7 contact group. We agreed on a price on what was suppo sed to be the auction day. So if you don't get enough responses to hold the auction, make sure you keep communication open with those responding. 



Now that I think about it, better advice is to plan your advertising VERY WELL so that you have more than enough people contacting you.

At this point they should be happy because you will help to raise the neighborhood comps. The main point in the 5-Day sale is "DO IT YOURSELF" 
Isn't that why you bought the book. If you do not sell your house then it is the Realtor's turn.

It sounds like you are truly networking and I applaud you. As you say, today's market is tough,but, I do believe this tis the time for investors and the 5 day sell method is dynamite for them. Sometimes homeowners do expect too much or have to have too much to pay their mortgages. In those situations they need to look at other methods like short sales or refinance with their bank to save their credit.. It is always best to pull up comps and get a fair market appraisal like a BPO before having a 5 day sale. This lets you get a reality check.

Buddy, 
Regarding the 25 rule, since I am new I will let others tell you how  
stricly you should stick to that rule. I unfortunely had only 7 responses.  When 
I contacted everyone to cancel the showing and auction, I was very clear  in 
telling them Why, and that I was more motivated than ever to sell the  
house. The buyer turned out to be in my 7 contact group. We agreed on a price  
on what was supposed to be the auction day. So if you don't get enough  
responses to hold the auction, make sure you keep communication open with  those 
responding. 
Now that I think about it, better advice is to plan your advertising VERY  
WELL so that you have more than enough people contacting you.

Hello, My name is  Buddy and I am wanting to do a 5day sale in Orlando Fla. 
I have two  Questions
1. Has anyone run into a situation where the final bid was not  enough to 
cover all the cost and you decide you do not want to take the last  offer. Is 
there any Legal problem if you decide not to do it? I am thinking  about 
the ad that is put out that says house will be sold to highest  bidder. Can 
highest bidder force you to sell to them? Am I guilt of false  advertising? Am 
I breaking some law? 

I guess that was more than one Q.
2. Next  topic, Is the 25 rule Golden? Has anyone sold with less?

Tom....Broker/Owner,
 
In answer to your question, yes.  When I did a 5-day sale, I did  not pay 
any broker.  Mine or the buyer's.  That's one of the  points of this whole 
process.  And a real estate attorney, depending on  your homes value, is MUCH 
cheaper than a broker.  For example.  My  home sold for 150,000.  Realtors 
fees would have been 6% which is  $9,000.  Let's say I only pay one realtor, 
and make it $4,500.  My  attorney charged $500 for the contracts and 
paperwork.  Which is  standard stuff.  And $500 to read the abstract.  (We don't 
have  title's in Iowa, but land abstracts.)  Ta da!!!  I put a minimum  of 
$3,500 in my pocket on that one transaction.  If I did 6 of these a  year, 
which is completely feasible, that would be $21,000 saved.  For  me, paying no 
one, that's $48,000 extra in my pocket per year.  I kind  of like that idea.  
;)

 Paying a Realtor to write the contracts and  seeing the transaction to 
closing may be less expenseive than paying an  attorney to do the same. If a 
Realtor brought a buyer to the sale would  you cut him/her out also?  The 
smart seller would include the buyer  and add the Buyers' Broker's fee to the 
contract price if the buyer were  the top bidder.

Just tell your callers that no one is obligated until a contract is  
signed.  Buyer or seller.  And there have been a couple that went with  23 
responses.  I would NEVER go under 20.

Hello, My name is Buddy and I am wanting to do a  5day sale in Orlando Fla. 
I have two Questions
1. Has anyone run into a  situation where the final bid was not enough to 
cover all the cost and you  decide you do not want to take the last offer. Is 
there any Legal problem if  you decide not to do it? I am thinking about 
the ad that is put out that  says house will be sold to highest bidder. Can 
highest bidder force you to  sell to them? Am I guilt of false advertising? Am 
I breaking some  law? 

I guess that was more than one Q.
2. Next  topic, Is the 25 rule Golden? Has anyone sold with less?
_-_ (mailto:- at aol.com) 




I agree with Tom on this point 100% ... this is one of the best  advantages 
of the 5 Day Sale approach in my opinion.  I would also  add "and like or 
dislike about the seller's property" to Tom's comment.

It sounds like  you are truly networking and I applaud you. As you say, 
today's market is  tough,but, I do believe this tis the time for investors and 
the 5 day sell  method is dynamite for them. Sometimes homeowners do expect 
too much or have  to have too much to pay their mortgages. In those 
situations they need to  look at other methods like short sales or refinance with 
their bank to save  their credit.. It is always best to pull up comps and get 
a fair market  appraisal like a BPO before having a 5 day sale. This lets 
you get a reality  check.

 There are also many enlightened consumers. I have several investor clients 
 who I do the "Sales" for free. I will have a sale coming in mid march 
which  they will make over 40k which isn't bad for 6 weeks of work and one  
home. While they are doing the work I am locating their next  project.  I will 
get paid when they purchase the houses and from the  list of unsuccessful 
bidders at the sale when I find them homes. I really  truly wish all homes were 
sold using this method because of its  transparency. In today's market for 
a Realtor to be upset with someone  trying to sell their own home is a 
luxury. The wonderful fact for  most FSBO's is it brings them back to reality. I 
recently was asked to  list a home for 50k more than I told them it was 
worth. I convinced them a 5  day sale was the way to go.
They expected 225k and the highest bid was  172k. They have decided to wait 
another year and hope the market gets  better.

Realtors  will almost always, except for the enlightened ones, get upset 
when they see  a person selling a home without the help of the realty 
community. They want  their cake and yours too. At this point they should be happy 
because you  will help to raise the neighborhood comps. The main point in the 
5-Day sale  is "DO IT YOURSELF"
Isn't that why you bought the book. If you do not  sell your house then it 
is the Realtor's  turn.

Tom....Broker/Owner,
 
In answer to your question, yes.  When I did a 5-day sale, I did  not pay 
any broker.  Mine or the buyer's.  That's one of the  points of this whole 
process.  And a real estate attorney, depending on  your homes value, is MUCH 
cheaper than a broker.  For example.  My  home sold for 150,000.  Realtors 
fees would have been 6% which is  $9,000.  Let's say I only pay one realtor, 
and make it $4,500.  My  attorney charged $500 for the contracts and 
paperwork.  Which is  standard stuff.  And $500 to read the abstract.  (We don't 
have  title's in Iowa, but land abstracts.)  Ta da!!!  I put a minimum  of 
$3,500 in my pocket on that one transaction.  If I did 6 of these a  year, 
which is completely feasible, that would be $21,000 saved.  For  me, paying no 
one, that's $48,000 extra in my pocket per year.  I kind  of like that idea.  
;)

I disagree Janet, the point is to sell the property in the  shortest amount 
of time for top dollar with the least amount of expense  and inconvenience. 
 Paying a Realtor to write the contracts and  seeing the transaction to 
closing may be less expenseive than paying an  attorney to do the same. If a 
Realtor brought a buyer to the sale would  you cut him/her out also?  The 
smart seller would include the buyer  and add the Buyers' Broker's fee to the 
contract price if the buyer were  the top bidder.

I think the point is not paying the agent.  Therefore, you need  to get the 
agent out of the loop.

 Never sold a car yet. That's my next project. Presently I am renting an apartment using the auction. Came out in the paper today and got 3 calls so far. The people who respond are very intrigued and give me their name and phone number and then I give them the address. Two have promised to come. Having  lots of fun and learning how to organize for the larger events. GO FOR IT!!
OOPs! Just got another call..

I thought there was something like that in the book.  You need to be  
REASONABLE with your pricing.  Too low, and it's a junker.  Too high  and no one 
wants to buy a 40 year old car.  If this is a collector's  car.  I think I 
would go through collector channels.  No experience,  just a thought.

I have a question:  Just finished reading the book...very intriguing.   
My first reaction/reservation about it is this:
When you post the ad, dont most people think this is some kind of  
scam?  If you had never heard of this method, would you respond to one  
of these ads?

Can anyone offer advice on the best place(s) to place the 5-day Ad?   
Seems on-line is the most visible, but where?  And if in the  
newspaper, where?  Straight classifieds or somewhere else?

Hey Jim -

Do both!  Remember, you're trying to attract as many people as possible.
Also consider putting up signs, wearing a shirt with the info written on it
around town, sending an email to all your friends asking them to help spread
the word, etc.  Go for it!  In this  case, the more the merrier.

Hello -

Online marketing is one of my favorite things so I would like to start
offering that service to homeowners who are doing a 5 Day.  Does anybody
else do this?  What do you charge for a consultant fee to run a 5 day, a
percentage or a flat fee?  I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks.

I don't have Outlook, so I can't join the Forum.? Maybe someone could answer my questions anyway? 



I've already read the book, and like the concept., but it was written 10 years ago, and in this market -- one that hasn't happened in more than 30 years -- is this method really possible? 



If I followed the formula and listed my house for 50% of its?value, it would be less than I owe? How?do I know my highest bid would even cover my loan, let alone give us?enough of a down payment to move?? 



Also, I'm noticing a lot of activity in the South, anyone from Illinois sell their house this way? 



Thanks.

We are in the process and spent a lot for advertising in area newspaper.  It is the second day and only 9 calls, and are thinking of pulling ad for weekend as not enough serious interest, we worked so hard and the place is a show stopper, we actually have a few other possible offers from previous showings.  We had such faith in this process working for us but I doubt we will have the 25 for Friday as have to pull it after lunch to make deadline.

Should we surrender?  We are in a prime historic area and way under value.  Or should we continue in two weeks time if non accepted offer?

Thanks, Sharon

I would pull the newspaper and put up a bunch of signs all around the area  
with the ad on it.... I know, gotta work fast fast fast.  And put it up on  
Craig's and postlets.  Otherwise, cancel and try again using different  
methods of getting the word out.  I only had three responses from the  paper, 
none from Craig's and all the rest from signs.  Each area is  different.  
Bill will often disagree with me on my view on this.  Here  are some statistics:

      38.1           9.9   
If you limit yourself to Craig's, there is half the population you aren't  
reaching.  And you need to cover the other half.  Signs did it for  me. 
Greatest of luck on whatever you chose, but I would regroup and try again 
in  a few weeks.

You have joined the forum, because here you are.  There is an updated  book 
coming out, but the last one pretty much details the process very  well.  
This method is possible in this market as there have been many here  who have 
sold their homes including myself.  As soon as we are unburied  from all 
the snow this winter, I am going to move forward with more.  If  you follow 
the rules of the book, you WILL get bids higher than 50% of your  home's 
current value.
 
Greatest of Luck!
 
Janet

Where are you in Illinois?  I am just north of Chicago and would be glad to
help you.  I did it in Wisconsin where it was successful.  I would probably
wait a little while though for the sake of signs...etc.

Subject: [5-DayForum] How empty is best
Message-ID: <000e01cab824$11a219d0$7a0a010a@jordan>

I am appreciating reading all of the posts and wonder if anyone has
suggestions on just how empty your home should be? I have nice basic
furniture in most rooms, shelves and closets are empty. Should I bother
taking out the bedroom furniture and more to make the home open to the
buyers imagination? Or is it not worth the effort to make a difference. 
Thank you, Faith

Keep  the bedroom furniture.  You want the house to be "staged".  Most
people don't have good enough imaginations to help them "put the furniture
back in" using their minds.

Hope this helps.

 I personally believe it will not make a difference and may even make the home feel more homey. If the furniture , as you say, is nice basic furniture that is good. Place nice covers on the beds, even if you have to find a sale somewhere. It is the clutter that distracts and takes points away. Clean, light, and airy is the key.

I'm not sure it really matters.  As an investor, all my homes for sale  are 
empty.  No one seems to mind it.

if any?

Not always do you get 50% of your homes value.  I just held an auction.  Finished up the bidding an hour ago and the high bid did not cover my loan and it was 45% less than appraised value.  Make sure your home doesn't need major repairs and if it does, take the cost of the repairs off what you are expecting to get and advertise that amount at 50%.

Janine, 



I'm sorry things did not work out. 

How many people responded to your ad? 

How many people put in a bid?

Not always do you get 50% of your homes value. I just held an auction. Finished up the bidding an hour ago and the high bid did not cover my loan and it was 45% less than appraised value. Make sure your home doesn't need major repairs and if it does, take the cost of the repairs off what you are expecting to get and advertise that amount at 50%.

Has anyone conducted a sale using the 5 day method in Connecticut, recently?
If so could you provide details.

 

Also, I thought we could monitor sales in process through the web site, but
I don't see how.

Janet,

Can you tell me more about Postlets? How does it work? Is Postlets Pro worth the $10? I am planning on selling my house in a couple of months and am deciding what advertising to use. 

Thanks,

I would pull the newspaper and put up a bunch of signs all around the area with the ad on it.... I know, gotta work fast fast fast.  And put it up on Craig's and postlets.  Otherwise, cancel and try again using different methods of getting the word out.  I only had three responses from the paper, none from Craig's and all the rest from signs.  Each area is different.  Bill will often disagree with me on my view on this.
