“Ultimately it’s a game, and we have to take care of ourselves, so we’ll just see what our agents recommend closer to the auction and just run it that way,” Tom said.

“There are 20 different ways you could do it and there is no right or wrong way.

“It all comes down to hopefully putting yourself in the best position possible, and hopefully a few people fighting over your house, so that’s all you can do.”
