Open House on President's day/Valentines day weekend

So I got a great listing, and I wanted to showcase the property as quickly as possible, as it is a great home in a spectacular neighborhood. Bright and early Saturday morning, I head off to the store to buy some refreshments, and then off to the home.

Beautiful day, great home, lots of exposure. And I wait, and wait, and wait. The only visitors to my open house were other agents who, also learned a valuable lesson that day, "President's day weekend in Denver is a HUGE ski weekend" Add to that Valentines day and whammo, you've got disaster.

Yes friends, I have a wonderful listing in amazing Montclair neighborhood, with lots of living space, and room to expand the house and more than double the price, but no, I sat, by myself for 3 hours wondering why I didn't know everyone else was out skiing!

Learned my lesson, the next open house I hold will be nowhere near a holiday, and forget Valentines day, it's a day for couples, not house shopping.

I did get to meet some nice agents, though, as well as some great neighbors, who, although didn't come in, did waive and chat from the front yard.
