I'm not sure what is needed from the board here, but I think there's a difference between a board recommending something, and having a fiduciary duty to present an offer to shareholders. Where are you reading that this needs the

Blind bids prevent bidding wars, but from an idealistic standpoint they don't find the true price of a home. Particularly when you have buying agents routinely advising their clients to bid 50k over what turns out to be the next h
