Another Day of Disappointment In the Life of a Realtor

It seems like today was another "Open House Day", sunny, hot and very few buyers! Boring!!!! I am sitting in a new home in a fairly new developement trying to sell any of the seven homes finished or under construction. It is pretty bad when the only people to walk through the door are a couple who a fellow Realtor out of my office, sold a pre-sale home to a month or so ago. They wanted to see the kitchen cabinets and ask a few questions. Three hours later I still had no other visitors and no sales. Am I crazy or what to do "Open Houses"?

This is scary stuff!

Although computer stuff is not new to me, I have never blogged before. It is scary because I don't like talking about myself but prefer to hear about everyone else. In a former life I was a CAD Designer/Drafter/Artist who later became an instructor teaching my trade to others. I've always enjoyed helping others. Now, I find myself helping others with homes. Last year, I made a change from a large well known agency to a very small, family oriented real estate firm. My broker and his wife(who is an agent) also have a construction company which builds ICF(insulated concrete form) "green built" homes as well as regular stick built homes. It is interesting and challenging. I have a lot of input into the design aspects of our homes as well as marketing them. Do green built homes seem to be the wave of the future? That is a big question. There are some pros and cons. Saving energy and money that's what it is all about.
