You'll never guess who has signed my OPEN HOUSE guest register this spring: Barak Obama! Sarah Palin! Arnold Schwarzenegger! Michelle Obama!
I like to grab the attention of the individuals coming to view my open houses!
I tell them three or four important features of the home I want them to be aware of and then I ask them to sign in and include a phone number or email address so I can email or fax them the MLS sheet and supplement of the home they are going through.
If they start to waiver I tell them with a smile, "You ought to see who has already signed in before you-you won't believe it!"
TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE GUESTS WHO HAVE SIGNED THE REGISTER AND THEIR COMMENTS:
NAME EMAIL COMMENT
Barak Obama c-i-c@whitehouse.gov Nice home, but I won't need one till January 2017
Sarah Palin grizzlymom1@alaska.net WRONG COLOR!!! I am looking for a WHITE HOUSE!
Arnold Schwarzenegger I like this house; no maid's quarters!
Michelle Obama obamamomma@wh.gov Have to downsize soon if the economy remains poor!
Elvis Presley TheKing@graceland.org Too small; I need a KING size house!
I usually take a couple of famous people in the news cycle and "sign them in" before the open house on the guest register and it is a great ice breaker and many do choose to sign because of that!
***I can then email them additional information about their open house visit.
***I can send buyers information about other homes in their general price range if this home is not a fit.
Since we are going to be at the open house for several hours, why not have fun AND help people as well with their housing needs. It can all start with the necessary contact information!
