Do you guys do first-come-first-serve? Or if you really like a family, how long will you wait between interview and contract signing? I don't want to be left hanging, but I also don't want to be so pushy as to scare the family away.
I have two families who are interested in my final spot. They have both told me that they want the spot, but the family I really want is taking their time getting back with the contract and deposit. The second family, who I do like, just not as much is willing to come over tomorrow and sign on. I did tell the families that I normally only give one week between our interview and the contract being due and signed, but we are going on vacation on Saturday, and the first family took that to assume that they had the whole time I was gone to make their decision.
Advice?
