It would no doubt fetch what we are asking if we chose to market it to the public, but I’ve also got to consider vacancy, marketing, etc if we don’t place these applicants.I don’t mind making a small concession to keep them attracted, but would would you recommend to keep them on the hook?

Trusts create this anonymity by removing your name from public record.

The added benefit of this process is that you can also have your attorney sign the public records as "Nominee Trustee" before assigning yourself as the "Trustee" once the Trust has been established.
