Selling Your Home? Throw a Party!

Bob;

    For one thing, I'm not the least bit surprised that a blog with the wording throw a party and Elaine Manes would be in the same posting.  Elaine is reason enough for a party!  How fortunate you both are to have one another to work with.  As to the throw a party idea...I've been seeing it go even a step further...people are "literally throwing a party" at open house day.  Food, entertainment, all in an effort to make their home stand out amongst the sea of other for sale homes.  In fact, today I had contact from the designer with the new show Date My House appearing on TLC.  I'll admit it's a bit hokey...as it's hosted by a former Bachelor participant and everyone receives a rose on entering the home, but I love the niche marketing concept.  I'm awaiting the okay from the show's producer for her to be a guest on the radio show.  The concept is you have to do more to market your home in today's market and I love it when the sellers become as pro-active as can be to get the job done!  This is a wonderful post explaining the fact that it is money well spent to make certain your home shows better then its competition.

Cheers!

Okay, I confess, I thought you were actually proposing throwing a party as a marketing ploy.  Might not be a bad one!
