They want the money now so we have stirred some urgency.

I think this would provide us with an equal sense of urgency to complete a project and get a SFH back on the market quicker.Any thoughts on a split percentage?  

This created a sense of urgency and eventually he said yes :)Be friendly and play with open cards.

The urgency in the last decade since Boomers woke up and realized they had no real savings has contributed to all kinds of weirdness and bad decision making.  

The banks just don't feel any sense of urgency, which is too bad.If you can wait, and it is a good deal, I would recommend at least doubling their timeline.

Require first payment by cashier check or money order, book multiple showings all at one time for safety and to create sense of urgency.

We explain that this "takes the unit off the market" for 7 days and that we need to do a lease signing within those 7 days (we do make exceptions but by putting a limit, we get a sense of urgency going).

You need some urgency, dreaming, positive thinking and talking isn't going to help.

And it creates a sense of urgency when they know there are multiple parties viewing the unit.  

Or is it still to early (1.5 months out, will be vacant aug 1) that there is no since of urgency?
