Just curious, how do you get more traffic at Open Houses.  We locally run them from 2-4 on Sunday afternoons.  Turnout is not horrible, but could be much better!  I plan to blog about this tomorrow, but just wondered with the increase in the gas price -- what will bring out the buyers?  I'll check for your comments.  Nadine Blakely, RE/MAX 1st Olympic, Lynchburg, VA

You may think this answer is trite but all we have done is  * e-mail every Realtor with a listing in the area  * sent an invitation to everyone in the subdivision (hopefully they will let their friends and family know if they are looking) * list the open house on Craigs List, the MLS, our KW website, etc. * the home  has a website that is posted on everything and * we have our own version of a talking house that is advertising it from the yard        **There are several OH's listed in the newspaper for Sunday too that we are hoping will generate more traffic in our area/house also.                           Personally though, I don't think gas prices are a hinderance.  Most people have probably already checked out the home(s) on the internet or in some other way and aren't driving all over the place.   I do believe however, that many people just won't come in an OH becasue they don't know how to deal with the Realtor that is inside.   Kind of like going to a car lot on Sunday so you can look @ the cars without the pressure of a salesman until you make your decision.       

I look forward to reading your blog.....I am anxious to see what others have to say.
