STAMPEDE!!! Well OK, just a great Open House.
I had my busiest open house in years. I had done a few open houses before at this listing..nice home, 
extremely well priced for the area.
I've had just a handful of buyers show up and a few no shows that I was expecting. But this past weekend I had well over 20 different buyers show up for the open house.
I didn't have a minute to myself...my feet ached, my legs hurt, my throat was sore, my back hurt and it was the happiest I've ever been after an open house!
I didn't get any firm offers, but I did get a few possible listings, and a couple buyers who didn't think this was the house for them ...but they were going to buy and could I help them!
I normally have great open house attendance...considering the comments of my colleague this was a stampede!
I contact other Realtors to ask if they will hold open their listings located within reasonable proximity to my listing. We send traffic to each other.
The key is working together. We have to selling showings...the home will sell itself to the right buyer.
Sometimes agents are leery of working together. My goal is to get my clients home sold. If you get a sale it is one less home in competition with my listing! I look for the good stuff....we can't sell every home but we can help each other make it easier!
Do you work with you colleagues to make your open houses more like a neighborhood tour?
