FSBO BLOG

This is a reminder to anyone participating in our National Open House Day next weekend that time is running out to receive a FREE Open House Sign. All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog, or my previous blog about National Open House day with your FSBO.com ID# and the time and date of your Open House, and we will send you a free open house sign/arrow to help you drive traffic to your home.

As a bonus, we will now be sending TWO FREE Open House signs to anyone who comments from now until Monday night at Midnight!!!

In preparation of the FSBO.com National Open House Day coming up on May 17^th and 18^th, I wanted to ask YOU a few questions to get your feedback on holding Open Houses based on your past experiences.

What are the best times to hold and Open House?

Which is the better day:  Sat or Sun?

How do you handle multiple prospects in your house at one time?

Should you be worried about your safety?

What did you do right, what did you do wrong?

As for me, I plan to hold as many open houses as my schedule will allow for.  My house will be open on both May 17^th and 18^th, starting around 9:00AM.  I plan to have some light Hors d’oeuvres and refreshments to keep people in the home for as long as possible, a large stack of brochures, and all of the paperwork necessary for those buyers to make an offer which I purchased from FSBO.com’s Real Estate Contracts page.  Since the house is vacant, I will bring a comfortable chair and a book to occupy myself while there is no one at the house. 

I’ll post pictures for everyone of my National Open House Day experience after the event.  For now, I’d like to hear your stories, or plans regarding open Houses you have had recently.

NOTE:  If you want FSBO.com to send you a FREE Open House Rider for your property, simply post a comment on my first blog on the National Open House Day.

May Day, May Day, it’s time for National Open House Day!

Spring has sprung, spring cleaning is done-it’s the perfect time to sell your home! In recognition of May as “National Prepare to Buy a Home Month,” FSBO.com has set two dates (May 17 and 18, 2008) for “National Open House Day” to give our customers increased flexibility to participate in this event.  I encourage all of our current customers to add either date to their online “Open House Calendar”.  We now give buyers the opportunity to search strictly by Open houses in their area, so it is important to post this info ASAP. 

FSBO.com National Open House Day Info!

As part of the promotion for this event, I want to give each and every one of you a FREE “Open House” sign for your yard or subdivision.  Due to the large number of listings we have online, it won’t be possible for me to do that.  So, in order to receive your FREE Open House Sign/Arrow, you must first post the May 17^th or 18^th Date on your Open House Calendar, and then leave a comment on this blog with a link to your listing or with your listing ID#.  Once I see that you have the open house dates set, I will ship you a Free Open House sign/arrow. 

P.S. I will be holding an Open House on both days for my home that I have been making the videos for.  Good Luck!
