And I might have misread this as you were the seller not knowing which offer to take seriously; If you're weeding out tire kickers and those posing as cash buyers- you've already been given the best answers in POF and property desires/location specific criteria, also helps if they say their name (don't withhold) if they are calling into you for the first time and you don't get any red flags they are posing as something they are not (popular lead generating app has this issue at times as 'cash buyers' are simply looking for deals to wholesale)Hope that helps!
