Is it tacky to have a buyer arrive while another is finishing up their viewing?

Not at all.

Have you ever been to an open house on a Sunday afternoon

I have them back to back, the first couple might leave quickly, there's a solid chance that they'll still be here

Bake some chocolate chip cookies before they arrive. It's proven to create positive associations and help sell your house.

Get a ring doorbell pronto. Sometimes you can hear the realtor and clients discussion as they are leaving the property if you have the motion set properly. We heard several good conversations and were able to use it to our advantage.

Ive thought about hiring a stripper or two for a few hours and asking my neighbor to let me stage one doing yard work in short shorts, while the other undresses in front of an open window....just to see if guys coming to the open house will place Immediate offers for the place over asking.

That's actually a brilliant idea.

Yep...I don't think it is a very good idea at all.

Honestly, when I was looking for a house, nothing was more distracting than to see someone other than my realtor in the house. Once you see someone else, your whole focus as a buyer shifts to the other person instead of the house that you are supposed to be checking out.

I think a guy did this and he was arrested for jacking off while the strippers stripped on the neighbors front porch

No....it's actually a good move; would make someone "on the fence" about buying make a decision faster.

Make sure your banging the shite out of the first one so that the second one hears her moan and wants to join in.

overlapping showings in hot markets are commonplace. Nothing like two type A women running into each other, each thinking, "oh that bitch ain't getting this house"

Came in to post this.

OP's next post will be asking everyone if they've ever gone up against a buyer's real estate lawyer over this very topic.
