Banks, The Government, And Possible Short Sales Start Bidding Frenzies, Now The Average Home Owner Is Cashing In

Online, December 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - This Saturday and Sunday, December 11th and 12th, Diane Gray Associate Broker and Realtor with Better Homes and Garden Real Estate Metrobrokers will hold a viewing of her clients property at 8863 Carroll Manor Drive, Atlanta, Ga. 30350. The difference between this viewing and a regular Open House is that for the Next Couple of days Diane will Advertise online with Craigslist, Kijiji, and Backpage with wording such as ****The Bidding Starts at 52% of Market****. At the viewing, visitors are allowed to make a non obligatory bid on this property starting at $93,000.00. Sunday night Diane will call each bidder giving them the highest bid and ask if they would like to stay in the bidding process by offering an additional number generally in $500 increments or pull out. The Seller will be presented with the highest two to three bids and after careful consideration can choose one or decide to continue with the regular listing.

The most effective marketing also involves posting forty to fifty signs in the nearby area and using live sign holders the day of the viewing but some cities frown upon this type of advertisement. Diane is going to work around this by piggybacking off of Better Homes and Garden Real Estate Super Sunday Open house which will add a Drawing for $1000.00.

Will this condensed version work? Diane sure hopes so, because most full fledge attempts at the Round Robin generally brings in twenty to thirty viewers with at least four to six bids. If we can get ten people to show up this weekend we've had a good showing.
