The Best Impromptu Open House at Fisherman's Wharf in West Babylon

I'm always looking to see if other open houses are being held around my listings. When I see one I call my sellers to see if I can do one for their home so we can get the buyer traffic from the other open house. This time they weren't able to but that is ok since I have one scheduled in the very near future.

I receive a text message from my client stating we need more brochures since there is only 1 left. 1 left? There were six there last week. Did they use them to line the kitty litter box or something? Oh wait, they do not have a cat. Something is up for sure.

I call my client and he tells me the buyers that went to the other open house couldn't find it and went to my client's house instead. They were showing these other buyers their home and gave all of them the brochure and told them to contact me if they have any questions or if they want to come back to take another look. They also held this open house in their pajamas!

Gotta love it!

Good deal Jackie, hope one of those people gives you a call! And you are one smart cookie indeed to scan and see what open houses are near your listings.

Jackie, what a great story, I love it.  Maybe you'll get a call and an offer from the impromptu open house.

I love your sellers and hope they get a contract soon.  And I would do open houses every week if I could do them in my pajamas!
