Do you know agents who try and do the very least to get by?  Who don't invest in their own business? Who don't realize they have their own business? Who like to ride on the coattails of others hard work?  

When we have an open house we utilize our professionally personalized signs with our names and phone numbers on all our directional signs.  We place the directional's up early in the day to receive maximum exposure and place them in MANY strategic places making it easy to find our open houses (like Hansel & Gretel dropping their crumbs to grandmother's house). 

I see many competing agents holding open houses in the area on the same day just putting up one or two signs to lead the way to theirs because ours are already there and it's less work for them.  Of course if they are scheduled at different times and our signs are removed...no one can find their open house!  The public sees our signs up all day and thinks we are holding all the open houses.  It's all in perception!
