An Interesting Open House

By
Real Estate Agent 40CA1147997

Yesterday I held 105 Heberle Road, Irondequoit, NY 14609 open for another agent and was to give feedback today.

My first visitor was a neighbor whom was inquiring as to the price and condition to compare why his did not sell last year. This has transpired into a listing appointment when his wife returns.

The second visitor and last was a 94 year old lady that had grown up in the house and wanted to see how it compared to when she lived there. She was also the Mother-in-law of another agent and friend from the office. Armed with about forty black and white photo's it was interesting to note that the home in its present condition had seen much better days.

Hopefully someone will purchase the home and restore it to the days of yore.

Amanda S. Davidson Thank you.

Robert Smith Just like making phone calls you win some and lose some.

That was an interesting open!  It would be really neat to share the black and whites with whoever buys the home.

Sharon Tara When they built the devolpement here I took pictures each day and gave them to each new homeowner; I will have to see if I can get copies.

You are proving the point that open houses may not sell the property. Open Houses are a way for agents to get new business.

Hello Ray, lets hope they don't restore it to quite as far as "Yore", I believe they had outhouses and carried water from the hand pump in the yard back then.

And the Electric service may not have handled than big screen tv. 

I am sure it was nice to look at those old photos though, and take a trip down memory lane with this former occupant.

Btw, congrats on the listing appmt!

Good morning Bob Crane ,

This was an area in "time" that there was running water and a bathroom so it would not be that bad. Thank you.
