You know the listing I'm talking about.
The one you're not looking forward to discussing with your unhappy seller. The one where the showings trickled in and then stopped.
Where the days-on-market number keeps climbing and you're not sure how you're going to get the home sold.
You did all the work to get the listing. You've invested A LOT of time and money.
And the listing is just sitting there with zero interested buyers.
Meanwhile another agent lists something similar across town. Sometimes worse. It's gone in a week, over asking, with multiple offers.
It isn't luck and it isn't a better house.
It's the structure they used to sell it — and it's something you can run on the listing you already have, starting this Wednesday.
I'm going to show you exactly what that looks like on three homes that had no business selling.
But first, here's what happened when I listed the home pictured above.
A home that needed a new driveway, two furnaces, two AC units, a kitchen, baths, and flooring throughout.
About $68,000 of work. The seller hoped for $300,000.
I listed it at $249,900.


Eight offers.
Sold for $76,100 over list price in 5 days.
Now study the Status Column.
Five of those buyers raised their own offers before the deadline.
I didn't call a single person. I never asked anyone for their highest and best.

Every time a higher offer came in, the other buyers were notified automatically.
They could see the competition, so they moved on their own.
That's the difference between buyers guessing blind and buyers who know exactly what it takes.

September 4th: 20 showings.
September 5th: 29 showings.
September 6th: 17 showings.
September 7th: 15 showings.
September 8th: 12 showings.
Look at how they overlap on the 5th.
That's deliberate, and I'll show you how to set it up.
There was a parade of cars on that cul-de-sac for five straight days. Every buyer who walked in saw other buyers walking in behind them.
And this happened in a market where average days on market in my area is pushing 80 and climbing.

He was up at 12:30 in the morning refreshing the page to watch offers come in.
Read that second-to-last line again.
The buyer waived their inspection contingency to win.
That's what competition does that a price reduction never will.
You don't just get a higher number — you get cleaner terms and a contract that actually closes.
I know what you're thinking, because it's what I'd be thinking.
That was a nice house in a decent neighborhood. Mine's been sitting for 60 days. Mine needs a
roof. Mine is priced where the seller insisted.
Mine is different.
Here's the thing — the listings this works best on are the ugly ones.
The homes that need work. The ones in the wrong month. The ones that are too small, too plain, or too weird for the comps to help you.
The listings other agents avoid because they don't want a sign sitting in a yard for six months.
Those are the listings where this produces its biggest numbers, because those are the listings where every other agent has already given up and gone quiet.
So let me show you the ones that had no business selling.

New roof. New siding. New driveway. Cosmetic updates throughout.
And I listed it in the middle of December, the hardest month of the year to sell anything.
The seller hoped for $130,000 in as-is condition. Other agents had told her to wait until spring and put $50,000 into it first.
I planned to list at $119,900. At the last minute I went lower — $99,900.
47 showings in five days. In December.

Six offers.
Sold for $148,000 — $18,000 more than she'd hoped for, without a single repair.
I didn't run one ad.
I didn't hold an open house. I priced it where buyers couldn't ignore it and let them compete.
Two bedrooms. No basement. 884 square feet.
If you've ever listed one of these, you know the problem.
The buyer pool is thin, the comps are unflattering, and there's nothing to get excited about in the remarks.
Listed at $139,900. Sold at $175,000 in six days.
29 showings and six offers over a single weekend.

That's every 2-bedroom sale in the zip code.
Ours sold for $5,000 more than a 1,200 square foot home on the same street.
The next time a seller tells you their home is too small to get multiple offers — that's the screenshot that ends the conversation.
I've run this system on a number of listings. Most went very well. Two didn't — and both times it was the same cause. Not the market. Not the condition. Not the season.
The list price wasn't low enough to make buyers compete.
Which is what makes the next part worth your attention.
If your listing isn't getting showings, one of five things is wrong with it. I'll walk you through all five in the book, but here's the one that accounts for most of them:
The price is too high relative to what the home is worth today — not what it was worth when you took the listing.
In a market that's slowing, market value moves faster than your comps do.
A sale from 90 days ago may not be a valid comparable anymore.
Most stale listings aren't overpriced because the agent was careless. They're overpriced because the market moved underneath them and nobody re-checked.
And here's the part that makes it worse: a small price reduction is the most expensive mistake you can make.
Drop $5,000, get nothing, drop another $5,000 — and all you've taught every buyer watching is that if they wait, you'll drop it again.
The 5-Day System does the opposite.
One decisive reduction. One firm deadline. Every buyer in that price range showing up in the same weekend.
That's the plan I'll hand you.
Fair question by now.

My name is Rob Minton. I started a real estate brokerage in 2000.
By the time I sold it in 2007 for seven figures, we were doing 300 home sales a year and I'd won a Fast Track 50 award for the 4th fastest growing company in Northeast Ohio.
Over 25+ years I've generated more than $10,000,000 in real estate commissions, information marketing sales, and recurring revenue from licensing and subscription businesses.
I've written 9 books. I've worked directly with Dan Kennedy.

Honestly, I had no plans to sell real estate again — until my daughter told me she wanted to get into the business after college.
So I dusted off my license and started over. No database. No clients. No recent reviews.
In the middle of a slowing market.
I had to build something that worked without a
reputation to lean on.
That's what the 5-Day System is.
And it's why it works for agents who don't have a wall of testimonials yet.

This is the exact framework I've used to sell listings in just 5 days for an average of $43,520 over list price with 8 offers per listing - verified by real MLS numbers.
You'll implement the plan outlined in this book starting on a Thursday afternoon, and you'll have several offers by the following Monday evening — because of the urgency you'll create from competing buyers.
This system works because it's not about the house. It's about the structure you put around the sale - one deadline, and every buyer able to see exactly what they're competing against.

P.P.P.S. If you decide to give my 5-Day System a try, you may end up getting notices like this one from your MLS:

That's a citation from my MLS.
I get these citations with many of home sales because they are concerned about an incorrect sale prices.
Their system reviews any listing where the sale price lands more than 10% away from the list price. They send me a nasty notice that I need to submit a correction form to adjust the final sale price to a more reasonable number.
Look at the violation line: Abnormal Sale Price.
List price $249,900.
Close price $326,000.
This wasn't an error. It's what happenes when you have 8 buyers competing against each other.
It's kind of interesting that I've never gotten one of these citations on a listing sold the traditional way.
