Where are the Good Open Houses?

Where have Open Houses Gone?
I have a great friend who talks in glowing terms about open houses. How effective they are. How fun they are. How many people you get to met. I have another friend who talks in distastful terms about open houses. Sitting their stuck in a room like some kind of spider waiting for the unsuspecting prey to come through the down and they you must pounce on them. I have seen open houses conducted by single woman and wonder about the wisdom of that. I have also seen open houses conductred by single men and wonder about the wisdom of that. Working at Exit Desert Ocean Realty- our brokerage says you may or you may not have an open house.
All of that to say, I will personally hold my first open house Tomorrow Saturday April 21,2007. Oh, please don't misunderstand many of my other listing have had open houses. I have even attended open houses and found them enjoyable. There are many afternoons my wife and I will go out and just look for and look at open houses.
But tomorrow, I will hold an open house at 21510 Pine Ridge in Apple Valley. I will do it alone. I will have no refreshments. If you come over plan to bring your own drinks other than water. I have put Pine Ridge on the Exit Desert Ocean stuff and the Victor Valley Mls and on Realtor.com.
I will perhaps comment about my experience after tomorrow. Say I get a Buyer?!!! That would be great. Say I get nobody not even someone who drives by Pine Ridge that would be sad. Either way I will do my duty and while doing it I will know that I cannot control the results of the attempt. I can only enhance them or ??
So If you are in Apple Valley- say about 10:30 am and you are driving around Kiowa or Navajo or Pine Ridge and you have a little time to waste. AND you would like to see an utterly unique home with many features that newer homes bypass. Please Stop in and visit me, I would enjoy the company and bring me a perfect buyer.

It is the day after the open house. 3 hours, some time to set up and take down. A great talk with one person. A potential for investing and real estate business. A gentleman who has a dream and might become part of a team of dreamers who want to change the way things are done in Apple Valley. Val Exit Desert Ocean Realty
