Well Hello AR members...

I held an Open House in St James NC. The house is located on the Golf Course and is built so professionally. They call the style Low Country. There is a lot of beautiful tile and hardwood floors through out. Stylish arched doorways with columns. WE do not see this standard of building along our coastal area of North Carolina.

Problem, there were only 10 or so agents to come out and view this house. Even with us offering gift cards and gifts and food. We served chicken salad croissants, wheat and plain rolls with ham, cheese, turkey, and roast beef, Chips, Chocolate Eclairs.

What works for you...

I really get discouraged..

In our market area Open Houses are starting to make a come back. You never know with an Open House I always bring something to work on just in case so I haven't wasted my time.

Ginger, a helpful read today that will definitely give us food for thought to today's message of keeping up with our real estate practices.

Hi Ginger Harper , The best thing for open houses is for the seller to put the open house information on his/her or their Facebook page.

It is hit and miss in our area too Ginger. The agents and lenders give money and give away iPads. That will bring out a few dozen but it becomes expensive.

Good morning Ginger. Yes, they work. We do them for every home that we flip, it take a lot of preparation. We never offer any gifts, I don't know if that makes any difference.

We rarely do them anymore because of such low attendance. We are doing one in a beautiful gated golf community this afternoon only because the sellers want one. Last one we did, only a neighbor showed up!
