open house: 60 Seconds in Real Estate, Cary NC: Open Houses! - 06/30/11 03:43 PM
Open Houses, in 60 Seconds Open House?  Sure! Cary listing agents often differ strongly on whether Open Houses "work."  Well, I say, Open Houses don't work.  Listing Agents work, and using an Open House as one means to market a property to buyers and buyers agents can be very productive. It sure is better than not trying.
My pitch, in 60 Seconds in Real Estate:

open house: Do you post lousy photos in MLS? You may be hurting yourself even more than you hurt your trusting clients! - 04/19/10 01:59 PM
It is clearly our duty to properly market property.  Photo quality and selection are part of it.
I cringe everytime I see obvious cell phone photos, with just a few crooked smeary foggy images from smeary, foggy cell phone lenses.  Somehow the agent is able to fool the seller into thinking the home is being professionally marketed.  For 400 days.  I don't get it, but it seems to work for some people.

open house: A quiet Open House: How do you spend your time? - 01/23/10 10:55 AM
I know. I'm supposed to take a stack of note cards, and catch up on my notes.
Or, I'm supposed to work on my laptop, on my database.
But after a full week, sometimes enough is enough. And I can only play so much Bubble Breaker on my phone. I DID get over 700 points twice today. That's pretty good for me.
Then I remembered that the Sellers had repainted the ceiling in their son's bedroom to cover his favorite green, and I needed a couple of photos of the paint job.
