Staten Island Open Houses

Now that the weather is getting nice every Realtor is running open houses every weekend. Are Staten Island Open Houses a benefit? I heard from some that they are getting plenty of potential buyers but is anyone buying? Others are coming back to their offices with long faces because they did even have one person stopping buy? What do you have to say? I feel the exposure is what is important and whether it's the signs, balloons, newspaper advertisements they are all part of our toolbox. Sometimes some work and others don't'. We still need to use them all to be a good Realtor. To all homeowners out there, are you trying to decide if a Realtor is the way to go to sell your home?  Remember open houses is only one tool that the Realtor uses in selling your home.  We have many more tools in our toolbox.
