Open Houses

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Open Houses. Every Sunday you will see hundreds of homes from Olde Naples, Park Shore, and Pelican Bay to Grey Oaks, Olde Cypress, and Quail West, having open houses in hopes of selling these properties. There are two main reasons for having them: sellers insisting that their realtor hold them because they believe it gives them the best opportunity for a sale and, realtors having them in order to find potential buyers for any property, not necessarily the one they are showing. The truth of the matter is that only 2% of homes sold are done through open houses. Most of the people attending these events are either nosy neighbors or someone who uses the time as a type of entertainment. The much more modern way to attract buyers for your home is through an active internet presence, where roughly 75% of homebuyers go for their initial search, and dedicated professionals like Chris and Dick can provide that service.
