THE RULES...Round-Robin Auction this Weekend - $189,500 or Best Offer

So a lot of people are calling and asking "What's the Deal?" with the Auction this weekend, so I figured I should probably write it all out for everyone.

1) Yes, we are auctioning off our house this weekend at 6906 New Hampshire Avenue in Takoma Park, MD 20912.

2) We are hosting an OPEN HOUSE for you to come Inspect the home this weekend all-day Saturday and Sunday, August 29th & 30th, from 10am - 5pm on both days.

3) After Inspecting the Home, you will be allowed to bid on it.

4) The Bidding Sheets will be left in plain view for everyone to see.

5) Starting at 8pm Sunday night, I will call every buyer, starting with the high bidder and working doward. (So please, when you leave your bid, please make sure you leave a number where I can reach you Sunday night after 8pm. You can make your bid or change it over the telephone up until 8pm Sunday night.)

6) I will call all interested bidders until there is one high bid and no other bidder wishes to top it. All bids must be at least $500 apart. If there is more than one bid at the same level, the earlier bid will be honored.

7) When I call you, I will say, "Currently the high bid is $(whatever it is)...Do you want to advance the bid?"

And it's really that simple. If you are the Winning Bidder we'll get together to sign a contract and my attorney will prepare all the necessary documents required for our settlement. If you have any questions about the entire process I assure you they will all get answered when you come to inspec the home this weekend.

I look forward to seeing you this weekend and remember -- Buying a House Is More Fun When YOU WIN IT!

Warmest regards,

Hannibal Bray
