Dessert Selections for Broker Opens

 

In our local real estate market, the traditional days for Broker Open Houses are Tuesdays at mid day. Lunch is often served by the listing agents. Popular dessert selections include the delicious apple and cherry pies from Costco. They are large pies and you may wish to spoon portions rather than to cut slices. If you have leftovers, they will be consumed at the office.

Roy, we do not see many broker opens here, everyone is really busy.  Cherry pie sounds good though!

Hi Roy Kelley - We don't call our open houses "broker opens".  We call it Tour Day!  Many of us serve finger foods, appetizers, mini sandwiches, or individual baby desserts and fancy cookies.

Ah yes, those large delicious pies at Costco. I do miss them. We have a Sam's but would rather have a Costo any day.

We don't do this very often down here.  I will need to attend some broker opens up in Washington DC to get some good deserts.

I haven't been to one in awhile but if someone serves mini creme brulees I am so there.

We do Costco pumpkin pies at Thanksgiving time.  They have great pies. 

I think that photo may be my favorite to date.  Beautiful colors. -Kasey

Costco makes great pies. I really like their pecan. That is a good idea to spoon portions into cups rather than try to slice. It makes it so much easier to eat.

Roy, for some reason I just wanted a piece of cherry pie today.  Eventually, I forgot about it and now at 11 PM, I read your post. Didn't know about the Cosco pies. Will check into this and thank you, Roy!

I'm sorry but I find those Costco pies way too sweet.  Today on realtor caravan I was lucky to get some pastry and quiche from a very good French bakery.

The sounds of this morning in Kentands are the songs by the chorus of singing birds. Enjoy this first day of spring!

It is sometimes a good practice to revisit old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for current posts.
