    Hi,I would like to ask you.Is this work if you want to get hire price for a home.Example: Lets say that the house was listed at $460k and did not sell.If we put on the market for $380k and follow your idea .Do you think it,s possible to get a price around $440 with multiple offers.I really would like to try this!:)))))

    Open houses do not work in our area. We are lucky to get one through the home. Good information if your area is for Open Houses.

    Hello Calvin,

    Thank you for the information. It sounds quite interesting…..I know that is similar to what they do with auctions around my area.

    I would like to get more details with how it is put into the multiple listing service (is that put in at the fair market price?) and how to advertise it differently when you have the open house. Don’t want any adverse legal conditions to deal with.

      Hi Linda,

      I just answered a question just like this for someone else on another website. Here was my answer to this…

      When you put the listing on the MLS you must use disclaimers like these to avoid the situation you mentioned… Use a disclaimer like this one in the public remarks “Listing price is the starting price only. Seller has an undisclosed reserve price.” then a disclaimer like this in the privet remarks “Home to be sold to the best offer on {Day} Night at {Time & Date}. Buyer Agent commission to be paid if to buyer agent does the following. 1. Attends open house with buyer. 2. Allows their buyer to be contacted directly on Sun. night for the final chance to raise offer by listing agent. 3. Handle the normal buyer agent duties if buyer agent buyer makes best offer. 4. Broker to pay buyer broker commission paid on final sales price if the buyer broker has the buyer with the best offer.

    Do you have facts to back up your assumptions?

    If I had 75 people attend an open house I would go crazy, let alone getting offers at the openhouse. I would be estatic if I had 5 people at an openhouse no matter how much I advertised it.

    As far as the disclaimer, I am going to have to check to see if this is allowed in our MLS system. It could be viewed as a deceptive practice regardless of the justification/rationalization you want to use.

      Gary,

      What assumptions are you talking about? If you’re talking about how this method works then of course we can back it up with facts. We have used this method to sell over a 100 transactions sides. It’s not like it worked a 100% of them time but when we had a realistic seller (or one that would become realistic after they saw all of the offers and activity) it worked almost every time.

      On your 2nd comment… Chris or I said “three ways” to what? Can you explain or complete that sentence so I know what you are talking about. If you are talking about three ways to collect use this to make money in real estate then that’s simple… 1. We used this method to collect around $300K in commissions UPFRONT before selling any homes. 2. We have used this method to beat out the competition and get normal listings. 3. We have used this method as a FSBO assitance method where owners paid us for the system, marketing material, and basic coaching so they could use this method to sell FSBO. We normally collected between $3K to $10K upfront when we sold it this way. I’m not sure if that is what you are asking about but if it is that’s the answer.

      All the best,
      Calvin

    One other comment – you said three ways.

    I counted one – what were the other two – did I miss something

    Hi. Thanks for the wonderful video. I love the way you, Calvin and Christ (<– lol, typo – Chris now I've got higher expectations for you and who might be operating through you, or maybe it is Calvin with Christ, or both, lol? Anyway…), teach. What are the other issues you've ran into with the MLS and how did you solve those issues? Obviously, other brokers/agent had concerns/complaints that they reported when they originally saw the SIAW MLS listings… what were they and how did you solve them? And, maybe you even ran into issues with the people at the MLS that approve or deny listings? Such as, MLS rules and regulations misunderstandings or needs for clarification as to if this is okay or not to list on the MLS just because they hadn't seen it and needed to re-research their own MLS rules and regulations to confirm all of the angles of the SIAW are okay… what were they and how did you solve them? I know the conclusion is the above two disclaimers, but what might we run into on the way to getting the SIAW MLS listings approved and staying MLS listed, just incase when a SIAW MLS listing is posted and a SIAW sale is being ran an issues pops up that "threatens" to stop all SIAW MLS traffic?

      Erin,

      You have a lot of great questions. I would love to answer them all hear but it would take way too long. We cover the MLS issues in great details in our training system. If you have that then you can find most (if not all) of the answers to your questions inside of it. If you don’t have it then you can get it here: http://soldinaweek.com/deal/

      All the best,
      Calvin
