Ok, everyone knows the adage that an open house is good for agents but doesn't do anything for a seller. We would often tell our sellers that while we were happy to have one, it really did more for OUR business as a prospecting tool than for the actual sale of their home. Well, lightning has struck!
In the last 3 days we have had two of our wonderful listings go under contract, and the buyers of both first saw the home at an open house. They later returned with their own agent, but I have to wonder if they would have gone out of their way to schedule a second showing if they hadn't been able to slip easily in and out on a Sunday afternoon.
So, lightning may not strike every time, but when it does, it's powerful!
