44 offers over the course of four days.
That's a new record for me and I am still a little shocked by it but its a sign of the times where homes are flying of the shelves if they are priced and marketed correctly.
Many years ago when I entered the industry working with multiple-offers and/or multiple-escrows at any given time was standard practice. At the height of things (as a full time transaction coordinator) I managed approximately 35 escrows at one time and I blame that era for a few pre-mature gray hairs.
For me, I handled multiple things with a combination of a written down grid (in the style of HOUSE''s diagnosing white board) and an internalized timeline in my head. I remember having developed an encyclopedic knowledge of my files in my brain that helped me sort through the hundreds of people and vendors involved in the sale.
I would have conversations in myself outlining when things would need to happen before closing and how I could overcome them. People in the office knew I was stressed if they found me talking to myself with my fingers in the air attempting to corral all the thoughts into one plan of action.
The rush of dealing with a myriad of tasks at one point was a rush that I am glad to be re-living. Its as close to a contact sport as you're going to have in real estate.
So for you...what are the most escrows/offers you have worked on at one time? How do you decipher through them all? Do you love it...or loathe it.
