open houses: It’s Superbowl 2009 and You’re Having An Open House…Or ARE You?!
- 01/29/09 07:18 AM
I generated a good bit of interesting discussion 2 years ago TODAY with a post about the value, or not, of holding homes open on Superbowl Sunday. Superbowl Sunday - A Great Day to Have an Open House...Or Is It? The market has shifted quite a bit since then - prices have dropped a lot, we have many more short sales, foreclosures, and REO's, and the economy has been turned on its head. Oh, and the Bears and Colts were playing. J So, with all that, does this have an impact on holding an open house on one of your listings … (14 comments)
open houses: Using Open Houses to YOUR Advantage
- 01/15/08 01:37 AM
There has been much discussion, and disagreement, on the part of agents who list homes about the value of open houses in today’s market. Some folks do lots of them, some don’t at all, and others just hold them occasionally. Agents report successes as well as failures with open houses. Check out Brad Andersohn’s terrific Open Houses – The Controversy summary post. We’ve also seen some good articles on how to prepare for and run an effective open house.

open houses: I Didn't get the Listing Today
- 02/25/07 01:33 PM
Well I didn't get it. Am I bummed - yeah a bit, but not too much. My attitude is NOT that I lost the listing...I never had it to lose. But I didn't get it. I was one of 3 agents who met with the sellers (FSBOs BTW) the other day to talk about my marketing and how I could help them. I have been sending them information once a week or so for months...so I was thrilled that they responded and asked me to come meet with them. The meeting was short - they made it clear upfront that I, like the other 2, … (35 comments)
open houses: So You Are Thinking of Selling Your Home Yourself? (Part 3 of 5)
- 11/27/06 02:37 AM
This is the 3rd in my series of posts intended to provide sellers with a list of issues to seriously consider before making the decision to sell their homes without the assistance of a licensed real estate agent. Selling your own home is time consuming and has a number of risks and liabilities, especially in a competitive buyer's market. Do not make the decision to take this on yourself lightly; give careful thought to these issues before plunging in! Marketing - Marketing a home is lots of work, and unless you are a marketing expert, you may be taking on more than you can realistically handle. … (5 comments)
open houses: Automated Lead Follow-up System - consumer info
- 09/29/06 11:09 AM
I just got back from our quarterly CRS meeting here in Southern California. Bernice Ross was our featured speaker, and among the MANY great tips and suggestions was a lead follow-up system focused on homeownersip called My Home Management Club. It sounded like a great idea which I plan to try (e.g., people you meet at open houses might be more interested since you are not sending them the standard information on buying and selling), and I thought others might be interested in learning more. I also wondered if anyone else had experience with the system and would like to share their thoughts, pro and … (2 comments)
