Today was Realtor Open House Day in my neighborhood. Three homes were on preview, all priced between $399,000 - $420,000.
As I was leaving the first home on the tour, a car pulled up and rolled down the window. The driver asked if I was showing the home or if it was open to anyone, as the Realtor Open House signs were posted on the property. I explained it was for Realtors, but she appeared very interested, so I agreed to show her the home.
While we toured the home, the prospect told me more about what she was looking for, the number of bedrooms and baths, etc. Coincidentally, the other homes on the schedule fit the criteria, so I offered to show her the other two homes as well.
The theme of the Open House was Cinco de Mayo, and a Mexican lunch was served at the last house. Since I picked up a prospect along the way, I missed out on the catered meal. But all was not lost. My business card was drawn for one of the door prizes, which happened to be a generous gift card to a local Mexican restaurant.
Not only did I gain a new client, I showed three great homes and won a gift card just in time for Cinco de Mayo.
Happy Cinco de Mayo Everyone!
