Live call revealing home offers from @domorealty

A real estate agent engages her client, the seller of a home, in a live phone call, first asking them to guess how many offers were received and then revealing the actual number was double their guess. She then builds suspense by walking through the offers in ascending order, starting from the asking price and culminating in a final, winning offer that is $300,000 over asking, all while B-roll footage showcases the desirable property.
