Ready for a quick sell!! Try an auction. Yes you can do it with proper marketing and a little work and here's how.

1. Order plenty of  signs, twenty five is a good start. Place them with in 3 to 5 miles in every direction. Have Auction and time preprinted on them with a viewing time like you would an open house. Mine are held open from 11-5 on Saturday and 1 to 5 on Sunday. Leave a place at the bottom to write in the address in an erasable ink.
2. Have a bigger sign with the same thing on it except the address (this one will be in the yard) but have a place for you to write the bedrooms, baths and two great amenties.
3. Start on Monday have all the signs put up. Run an ad in the newspaper every morning for the whole week that looks just like your signs.
4. On Saturday and Sunday hold home open just like a regular open house. Have a poster board for everyone to write their bids on.
5. After Sundays open house is over at 5 pm then you start calling the lowest bidder and tell them the highest bid and ask if they want to top it. Then go to 4-3-2-1 and continue till the last one stops bidding. At the end you will have probably the best offer you could hope for either sell it to the seller or let the highest bidder know it is unacceptable.

We have replaced most of our Open Houses with these style Auctions and have sold over 85% of the homes within a 3 week period. I try to hold them within the first two weeks of the listing. These have worked well with our short sales as well.
