56-Hour EXIT Realty Open House Live on Ustream.tv

EXIT Realty Bend franchisee invites visitors to marathon virtual open house March 13th on Ustream.tv.

In 1916 Houdini strapped himself into a straightjacket and hung upside down off the roof of a building where 50,000 people watched him escape. People have been rolling over Niagara Falls in barrels for decades, walking across tightropes between buildings for years and celebrities like David Copperfield have captured the attention of millions by performing spectacular illusions that overwhelmed, stunned and entertained.

Jim Mazziotti, the principal broker and franchise owner of EXIT Realty Bend, located in beautiful Bend, Oregon, does not seek fame and fortune. Although he works to dazzle his clients with customer service and creative marketing techniques to get their homes sold, he is far from having the talents of the David Copperfields of the world, but maybe, just maybe, a straightjacket may be appropriate for this "Houdini of Real Estate!"

Beginning at 10 a.m. on Friday morning, March 13th, Jim will sequester himself at one of his company's many bank-owned listings for 56 continuous hours. Jim will eat, sleep, bathe and everything else one might do in their home for a 56-hour continuous stint. In addition, in the spirit of the famous Jim Carey movie, "The Truman Show," Jim will do it all LIVE on Ustream.tv in what he believes will be the first live 56-hour open house ever done in the United States!

"I was inspired by a Canadian real estate agent, Kye Grace," said Mazziotti. "Equipped with a sleeping bag and mostly alone, he conducted a live open house in Vancouver. He found a way to bring people to his virtual doorstep, and we are going to take it to the next level. I honestly believe that this event is just one more paradigm shift our industry will experience. My feeling is that if you believe that the real estate business should be done the way it has always been done, well, get out of the way - you are about to be run over."

Mazziotti will hold his 56-hour open house with the help of 11 of his EXIT Realty Bend agents and with a select group of preferred partners and event sponsors. For 56 hours, Jim will coordinate live presentations from mortgage lenders, inspectors, appraisers, financial advisors, title companies and other professionals from real estate-related business and industry. "I'm not here to look pretty or pretend that I have a clue about live television production, but those who stop by our live internet event will have the opportunity to hear about real estate issues and programs that are important," he continued.

There will be topics discussed such as first time homebuyer programs, government home ownership opportunities, home ownership tax incentives and dozens of other real estate topics. "But we are going to have some fun too," Mazziotti said. One of my preferred lenders is one of Bend's finest jazz musicians, so I asked him to talk about lending and play some live piano at the open house," said Mazziotti. "We want folks to come to our live webcast on Ustream.tv and have the ability to learn something, hear about the real estate opportunities in fantastic Central Oregon and have some fun along the way!"
