If Only They All Sold Like This...

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Gerken & Associates
A client asked me to list his home in Galena, Missouri. Being our sales office is 40 minutes away, I told him that I would co-list his home with an agent who has an office in Galena, so if anybody in that area wanted to view it, they could do so within a relatively short time, rather that waiting on me to get out there. By the second day of the house being listed on the market, I began getting all kinds of calls on it. At one point, there was an agent inside showing the home, an agent in the driveway waiting to go in and another agent parked in the street waiting to show it too! By the end of the second day, two full price offers came in, which led to a wild bidding war. Needles to say, my client is very happy to have a full price contract, a full price back-up offer and will have his home listed, sold and closed within 3 weeks!

You gotta love those...  been a while since I had one go that quick.  But the seller liked reviewing three offers at once with one a few % over asking.
