It is no secret that a lot of Realtors® are hungry these days. Many have given up selling Real Estate and have taken "real" jobs with steady paychecks somewhere else. Yet others, who are truly hungry can and do find a way to stack offers up like pancakes. Is your stack a tall one or a short one?
ARE YOU COOKING UP DELICIOUS DEALS?
How many times have you gone to a restaurant and nothing on the menu has really appealed to you? I am sure it has happened to us all at one point or another. You want something, but are undecided exactly what that might be. The same applies to buyers in the housing market.
They are hungry for well priced homes which will appeal to their pallets and budgets.
CHOOSING YOUR INGREDIENTS CAREFULLY
Properly choosing which ingredients you use is the first step to making a meal a deal.
A variety of homes, styles and price ranges adds appeal to your menu.
Price of course is a factor.
Next is the preparation and presentation.
SERVING UP A SPECIAL OF THE DAY 
Hungry buyers are looking for that all you can eat buffet. Recently, I tried this with a selection of New Town Homes a builder wanted to liquidate. We ran a one week special for customers.
Basically what it amount to was 50% off the original list price and as a the cherry on top we threw in a nice closing cost incentive.
In 48 hours we had offers on 67% of the available inventory. In fact, we had gotten multiple offers on some. Buyers scrambled to contact their lenders for approval letters, and the office was buzzing with new found enthusiasm. The joy to selling had been re-ignited.
Buyers had finally gotten what they had been waiting for. A price reduction to wet their appetites.
A literal banquet for their budget.
We included the tag "first come, first served" on the email campaign.
WHY SOME WILL BE FULL AND OTHERS WILL BE UNFULFILLED...
As with cooking following the instructions (directions) is very important. Once you have the right ingredients, you must follow the preparation guidelines in order for ther outcome to be good. The same applies to the business of Real Estate.
One Realtor decided her receipe was better than ours. She didn't read the instructions. She didn't ask questions. She didn't call the office or the listing agent. She simply faxed in her offers. Unfortunately, her stack ended up short and poorly prepared. Her customer will leave the banquet still hungry.
DOES YOUR SERVER MAKE OR BREAK YOUR DINING EXPERIENCE?
In most cases the answer will be yes. 
When dining on deals, it is very important to know what is on the menu.
Choosing you work with enhances your dining experience.
That is the primary difference between ending up with a tall stack or a short stack.
So how hungry are you?
