Today was amazing! I've really been trying to move one of my listings by doing open houses every opportunity I have. Well, I was doing an open house today, Sunday, and had a suprising turnout. My Sunday open houses have been resulting with absolutely 0 traffic however today I had 6 families come thru. One family decided to return just as I was about to close down shop and said, "We want to make an offer." It took me a few minutes to realize what was going on. Yeah, you can say that I was in shock.
I also received a phone call from an agent representing a buyer stating that they were submitting an offer on one of my listings. The call came in before lunch so I was already feeling pretty good going to my open house. I made arrangements to meet with the agent later in the evening. Is something going on?
Before I could get the paperwork done for the family wanting to submit an offer to purchase on my listing where I was doing the open house, a homeowner called me to let me know that he had all of his forms completed so that I could list his house.
If you are keeping score, that is 1) an offer on one of my listings, 2) a listing agreement completed and 3) an offer to purchase on my open house as a dual agent. In my book, that's a hat trick.
What an amazing day and believe it or not, in some way I have to owe it all to Active Rain.
Thanks Active Rain!
