I live in a small town. We can get across town in about 5 minutes. And even when we get inundated with out of town visitors for an out of town event such as a WSU game it is still about 10 minutes. Living in a small town has it's benefits.
One of those benefits is Realtor Tour. Because we can readily access the properties in our area, our office, like many of the offices here go out on tour faithfully. The benefits are immense.
- We see the properties before we show always keeping our eye for that perfect house for our client.
- We have a better feel for the pricing on our own listings either currently on the market or coming on the market.
- We let our seller's in our area know that we as an association are working hard to sell their property. I think this is very important....we need to let the seller's know first hand that we are out there working to sell their home!
- We get the opportunity to meet as an office and caravan. Our office is like a family and it gives us an opportunity to see each other and discuss current trends. We sure do have a great time on Tour!
- We also get to see other agents in different offices too....and that is great! Sometimes it is an old acquaintance that has moved on and a chance to catch up. Sometimes it is an agent that we may of had a deal with in the past. It gives us a chance to catch up about how they and their family may be.
Last week our office at Beasley put on a Breakfast tour. It was a blast...each of us put something different out so that you had a pretty full tummy by the time tour was over. We also put in a sign in sheet for a drawing.
This week another Realtor from a different office put out lunch. It was great! I think the golden rule applies here...we treat both our clients, the seller's of other Realtor's clients and each other as Realtors as we would want to be treated ourselves...

Lori - I do feel that a Realtor Tour is much more important than an Open House. There's nothing like having a bunch of Realtors come through the home - whether they have a buyer for the property or not.
