It seems that I may be the only Realtor in League City that thinks you can in fact sell a house at an Open House. Most agents will admit that the only reason for having an Open House is to find buyers to work with. While this is also true, I believe firmly that you can sell the home you hold open during an Open House.
Why do I think so? I've done it before. And history repeats itself. This year alone I have sold 2 homes at Open Houses. I have taken listings and found additional buyers to work with also this year because of holding Open Houses. Keep in mind that it is only March, so I will probably sell many more during Open Houses throughout the rest of 2009.
If you don't have Open Houses - you will certainly not sell homes at Open Houses!! There are many different ways I market homes. And since I don't know which task will help me find that right buyer, I choose not to skip any of these tasks.
Would I like to spend my weekends differently? Sometimes... but as long as this is an effective tool for getting the job done, I will continue to hold Open Houses for all of my homes! After all, it is my job to act in my client's best interests.

I had the greatest experience today in working with another agent in Clear Lake, TX. They answered their phone. They answered their email. They called me back after presenting an offer. Just all around great experience! It is so nice when that happens!
What a wonderful world it can be. The weather was also excellent today. 2 for 2!

Showing Center Services – waited on hold for 5 minutes and it took an additional 5 minutes to schedule the appointment because they had to set me up with an account. I had to spell my name, first and last, give my company name, spell it, give the city, spell it, give the state, zip code, my phone number, etc and the appointment didn’t get set up on the spot. They had to then call me back.
They are located in Pennsylvania. And I have no problem with good ole PA. My parents were born there. It’s beautiful. Hershey is there. BUT Showing Center Service is clearly not hooked up with my MLS because they don’t have any information on any of the agents in the area.
Centralized Showing Service has it all already. They must be paying the HAR (Houston Association of Realtors) MLS a ton of money for it, but I’m glad for it. I would rather call Centralized Showings for all of my appointments. And for my Listings, I wouldn’t dream of using any other company.
So, for selling homes in Houston, please use CSS.... it would make my life better. Then again, I'm sure someone somewhere has a CSS horror story!!! Let's hear it.
