Now They’re Paying for Agents to Go to Open Houses!

I had to laugh - and applaud!  This is a great marketing idea, but unfortunately does show the state of the market.  Agents are getting discouraged with the lack of buyers and sellers who think their properties are worth a lot more than they are.  Apparently this listing agent is finding that other agents are no longer showing up for open houses.  Many listing agents are finding that their open houses are only attended by neighbors who want to snoop - and only a short time ago, these same houses would have sold before a brokers open could be held.

I did get this email this afternoon through spam (apparently many real estate professionals feel that its ok to illegally spam other real estate professionals), which I hate and never condone - but I do have to appreciate the fact that this agent is trying something different …   Perhaps she should just try advertising it in Eastside Business.  That’s one of the places our advertising gets listed.
