Broker's Open Houses

I am a firm believer in old fashioned "Broker's Open Houses." You know the kind, where lunch is served and there is a drawing for a nice prize or 2. I like to take the evening beforehand and prepare lasagna, or enchiladas. Having them ready to pop in the oven the next morning makes it easy.

Who wants to go to lunch and have tiny cold sandwiches? I want a baked potato or a good salad or a meal and I assume that everyone else feels the same. Knowing that most real estate agents take a few minutes for lunch inviting them to come and preview one of my listings and take a few minutes over a good lunch to talk and catch up with other real estate agents is fun.

I encourage real estate agents who are out showing to drop in and show my listing and feed their prospective buyers lunch on me. It's a win~win situation. The seller's home gets shown, agents get a preview and lunch and I get to visit with old friends and make new ones.
