Per the sdcellar scheme, we are not “falsely proposing
to buy” anything. All the offers will state that we
are putting out 5 offers and will pick from the ones
accepted after 48 hours. And we WILL pick one of them.
There is nothing false about it.
Also the 20%*50%=10% chance of closing: After 48 hours,
the chosen seller WILL know, and the odds are back to 50%.
Why is that any worse than the wait that buyers have to go
through before THEY know whether they are the 1 in 10 buyer
that will go into contract. Seems the same to me.
All I want to do is to even the playing field, because
it has always been tilted in favor of the seller.
By the way, the online services like zip and redfin etc
really ought to look into this scheme. Sdcellar, I smell
a “business process” patent war coming up (just kidding).
