In my market (Killeen / Fort Hood – Texas) open houses don’t work very well- but that doesn’t stop 100 Realtors a week from having them. Our open houses are generally for Realtors- around lunch time- and isn’t it weird that the same 8 people always show up?? LOL! I was at an open house last week for a friend (because she called and personally invited me) I felt so bad for her… she is a Coldwell Banker United agent- officing with a TON of other agents- and NOT ONE of them- including the manager bothered to show up! Her attendees were ME and one other agent from another brokerage. Shame on her office! I love you Kelly G. and I will always come to your open houses girl! (Especially if you keep serving that key lime pie!)
I know that sellers expect an open house- I KNOW I KNOW. This is the result of too much “real estate TV” – if you ask me. “Have an OPEN HOUSE and sell your house in 2 minutes!!!” Those shows have just made our jobs harder- but on a lighter note- they also have given us something to laugh at! (I know I do!)
Every once in a while- I like to do an open house and kill 2 birds with 1 stone. 1st Bird: Make the seller of a great house happy! 2nd Bird: Catch up with my Realtor friends over some wine and good munchies! SOMETIMES…there’s even a THIRD BIRD! 3rd Bird: We sell the house!
Monday we are hosting an open house “Happy Hour Style!” at one of our new construction homes by TBR Builders in Killeen Texas. TBR builds a great custom-style home with unique features that you likely won’t see elsewhere in our area. Lots of great stone work -inside and out, amazing kitchens, spa-like master bathrooms… everything it takes to build a great home that any Realtor would be proud to show off!!
If you can join us in person…please do at 4411 Canine in Killeen Texas (Onion Creek Estates) between 4PM & 6:30PM on Monday, May 3rd. If you can’t join us in person- just join us in spirit- check out the flyer below while sipping on a good glass of wine and a couple of pretzel sticks! (I will post a new flyer before Monday with updated pics now that the house is finished!!) https://www.fhaarmls.org/fht/maildoc/sd_AAAa005hB20100428103313.html
