open house: What a great day for showing! How'd you do? - 03/27/07 05:27 AM
We had another great day for showing in central Iowa. Sky was sunny and just a little breezy with a high in the upper 70's. You couldn't ask for better weather! I don't know how other agents did, but we had eight groups come through with about another 4 drivebys. That's my second best showing day yet! The record stands at 12 with a few drivebys. How'd everybody else do?
Until next time.

open house: Finally a good showing day - 03/20/07 02:21 AM
Well, can you say it was a good showing day with only 4 groups gone through? I think you can say yes. Now I'm about to attend a weekly class in about an hour in which the instructor asks every week, "How'd your opens go this week?" So I'll be able to find out a little more closely if it really was a good showing.
 Either way, I have to be happy about the nice weather that's here. The only person I think that might be happier than me is my wife. It is hard for a Georgia Peach to get used … (0 comments)

open house: Open House Blizzard Blues - 02/25/07 05:58 AM
So here I am.  .   .   .at the open house house that I promised everyone I would be at. On my website, www.YourDesMoines.com, on my AR blog, and all my realtor blogs. Here I am. One hour into the open. My wife is so bored that she's just sitting down by the fireplace reading. Woo. The blizzard part of the storm is over. This is the glamour that I always thought being in real estate would be. No not really. Here's a pic of what the local radar looked like before we left on this journey.
Not as bad as last night, … (0 comments)

open house: Super Bowl Stinker - 02/08/07 09:59 AM
Super Bowl Sunday, whew, I'm glad that one's over. Not only because my team lost the big game, but also because I lost the open house game. It's taken four days for me to blog anything about it. On my first Super Bowl Sunday in real estate I only had 3 groups come through my open house. Somewhat disappointing, but also expected. Oh well, just like everything else in real estate so far, I'm learning what to expect as I go along. On a positive note, 3 was pretty good compared to some of my colleagues opens. Next year I may just … (2 comments)

open house: Strike 3 on 8! - 01/28/07 11:29 AM
Well, I showed 3 houses today. With an eight degree temperature(now you understand the title). Two homes were right next to each other and we set up shop across the street a few homes down. Three hours of...of...of boredom, is that the word? No, more like 3 hours to watch 'Friends' on DVD. Whoo hoo! Now before you become sad for me, I did have 4 groups come through today. Which was pretty good....for mid-December, but I'm not discouraged. Everyone keeps telling me January is when it picks up. I haven't noticed it yet, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place(or the … (1 comments)

All 3 are built by award winning Oakmark Builders. With Oakmark building it, you know they are quality homes. Prices range from $399,900-$460,000. Call me for specifics on any of the homes.
