Imagine you're selling a 4yo. He's been advertised for around 3wks, you've had 2 viewers thus far. One was a dreamer, the other was a timewaster. You've had another lady booked in for around 2 weeks, who is coming to view next week. She sounds lovely, and very serious, but has been very busy hence the delay in viewing. You're suddenly bombarded with an influx of emails / phonecalls, and you've now got 3 others requesting to view this weekend (along with 2 more requesting next week). One of the 3 called yesterday, pleaded to be the first to view him (and explained reasons), and sounds absolutely perfect. Of the other two, one sounds lovely, the other is potentially another timewaster.
So... what do you do? Do you honour the first "booked" viewing and give her priority, but risk losing two other very serious-sounding viewers, or do you go with "first come, first served" basis? They're all travelling a fair distance (closest is probably a 3hr drive, one way).
Thoughts appreciated!
