Blast the whole list at once, or work the top five by phone first?

What stops the 53 strangers from just calling the seller directly once they have the address? Is that a thing that happens, or am I inventing a problem?

compass it's absolutely a thing, which is why a lot of people send the deal without a full address until someone signs something. Costs you speed to withhold it though.

Sixty names where seven transact isn't a list of sixty. It's a list of seven with fifty-three people watching. Price your effort accordingly.

Rural is different enough that I'll flag it. Out here I might have four buyers total for a given price point and two of them are the same family. Blasting is meaningless. It's four calls and I know before I dial which one is going to say yes, because I know what they bought in March.

hollow, that sounds like a nicer business than the blast version honestly. Fewer people, more knowledge.

On the reputation question, I'm on the buying end sometimes and mass emails don't bother me at all. What bothers me is a mass email with a bad repair number in it, because now I've spent an hour and I trust you less. Send to everyone if you want, just don't send junk to everyone.

Lantern, you've described the choice as reach versus relationship and the seven closers are already a relationship. If you call them first and they say no in twenty minutes, you've lost twenty minutes and you can still blast. The reverse isn't true. You can't un-send to 60.

ember's point about order being reversible is the sharpest thing here. Same logic shows up on the capital side, you always talk to the committed money first and the crowd second, because the crowd can't be put back in the box. The one thing I'd add, lantern, is to be careful about giving overlapping windows to two buyers by accident. Somebody in another thread here paid for that lesson.
