Yes, I sure do! Most weekends..
"Why? Does that work?"
Yes it does! Even times when people don't show up, I can get work done. I have been finalizing an offer in on one of my listings, and writing an offer for some buyers I've been showing houses to.
I'm also prepping new listings for this week, so I'm working on market reports and listing documents for those.
And then I get to meet visitors like Jack, who came by my open house and hear stories about how he has a daughter, son-in-law, and four grandkids, ages 3 to 10 years old, who live in Colorado. He and his wife live just around the corner from this neighborhood, and they're going to visit them for Thanksgiving. He's going to open house to collect brochures and tour homes in hopes that it will peak their interest and potentially eventually lead to their move here.
And a couple from Florida who walked through this home, marveled at the finishings and quality for the price, and they loved the all turf, lower maintenance backyard.
And David, who didn't have much to say, except he loved the attic space 🤷🏼‍♀️ and the flexibility of using the downstairs game room as an office overlooking the backyard, while maintaining a game room upstairs for his grandkids.
And can I tell you about all the houses I've sold over the years from people I met at open houses? It's in the hundreds, easily.
I'm not one to say to do something because it's the way it's always been done, or because it's worked in the past, so please don't hear that. I'm just trying to remind you that it's still working.
Yes, it's a sacrifice of time away from my family and friends or other things I could be doing on a Sunday afternoon, but the fruit is undeniable.
Especially now through March, agents, you have a great opportunity to meet people, help people, and make a difference. Schedule your open houses and get to work. đź’Ş
