I've got 3 people bidding against each other for the property which went onto the market only on Monday. The starting price I set was slightly optimistic to give me some room to move downwards, but the bidding has now gone well beyond that. Net profit has gone up to +20% (compared to the initial listing price) just this evening. All of them are keen to sign and one can even settle - everything done since they don't need to secure finance - within 2 weeks of signing. That sort of time frame is flabbergasting.

I'm communicating with the 3 buyers directly. No lazy real estate agents to say "fuck it" and try to talk the vendor (myself) into selling to person X because they can't be bothered making multiple calls to get the best possible price.

Now the hard part is convincing my wife which is the best offer, without getting bogged down in sob stories. That's the bad thing about DIY, they all seem like really nice people, but at least two of them are going to be disappointed.

She's already had a cry about one guy being beaten in a bid because she thought he was so nice. I am not joking.
