The past two weekends was the Parade of Homes in LaPorte County.  I was only able to hit a few of them.  I was happy to see the quality of new construction out there, but I thought a few of the prices were out of line considering what was being offered.  I could be wrong, but that is not what this blog is about. 

Last year, I was horribly disapointed in the lack of open houses along the "parade" route.   I mean I saw hundreds of people walk by two homes that were for sale and they were not open for the public to see.  If I were the owner of those homes I would have been calling and pitching a fit.  That is some serious free advertising going on and the realtor completely dropped the ball. 

Not this year though.  I was quite pleased to see a couple "open houses" along the route.  I had to go into one of them, the other was closed by the time I got there.  I am glad I did I got to meet a Realtor that I had been trying to meet for a couple of weeks and she even brought uo my Mortgage Meltdown seminar that I am putting on in a couple of weeks.

So, I would like to see more people take advantage of those opportunities.  If I were a Realtor, I would be.

I am going to come up with a list of those opportunities in the weeks to come that I see that people do not take advantage of.  I know this weekend, I drove by a FSBO and the guy was out working in his yard and I gave him my 30 second elevator FSBO speach.  Now, I have one of my FSBO signs in his yard.

Work, Look and you will have grat opps out there.
