Are your Open Houses a bust?

I did my Open House yesterday, picking Sunday as the day, as opposed to Saturday.  People were out and about, driving around the neighborhood I was in, and I began to wonder if anyone would stop.  I had my sign out at the entrance and then directional signs to the house.  Lo and behold, a car pulled up, and it happened to be someone that knew my father many years back, and we started talking.  He is very interested in buying a house, so I got all of his information and will be staying in close contact with him.  Unfortunately, he has a few credit issues that will keep him from obtaining a mortgage, but he is working on that and already spoke with a lender about it.  After he left, here comes another couple that came in with their young son.  The mother was busily chasing the boy everywhere, but I was able to talk with the Dad and find out their plans.  They just moved to the area and are looking to buy, so this was another good thing.  I had everyone fill out the registration book and so I have all of the contact information, names, addresses, email and phone numbers.  Not a bad day as far as Open Houses go.  The funny thing is these people new they couldn't afford the house I was sitting in, but just wanted to see an agent and talk with someone in a relaxed environment.  You just never know.  People are out driving around, with fall in the air, so don't abandon Open Houses, if you haven't had any luck in the past.  I am looking at 2 potential buyers, and still have some from previous Open Houses that I stay in touch with, so I am there when they are ready to buy or sell.  Have a great week!!
