Russell, this looks very good! You might alao post the list of other AveOne homes that will also be open. I see you also included the aveone link that will have the others posted tomorrow afternoon. Good work and good luck on your open house!
Russell, I just heard you had posted this and it looks great. I hope that some of the other associates also start utilizing Active Rain to market properties as well as themselves! And I have to say that it would be a good idea to post the list of everything available so people could pull it from your blog and have a preview list!
Hi Russell-I wish you the best on this open house Sunday. It is a gorgeous house. I hope I'm not out of line here but I have a question. The title of the post says Nov 23 and the open house date in the text area says Feb 8. I thought I would mention it in case of reader mix up. Forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn. Have a great evening. :-)
Beautiful home and a really nice presentation Russell! Wishing you the best for a fast sale. :)
there Russell, my friend
I'm a bit lost, as to when your open house, is taken place. Please forgive me, for being lost. I sure do know any open house you are a part of, sure is going to be one folk's should visit.
Russell - Wishing you much success on your open house, looks like a lovely home.
Hi Russell-Best of luck my friend on your open house on Sun. I want to know which Sunday it is though. LOL
Ok...thanks to each of you for waking me up, I just missed the date by a mile! Best to each of you and I thank you for setting me straight!
Allysoun and Scott I appreciate your comments and yes I will post a list of all of the homes when it is finalized on Wednesday!
Sharon No problem and THANK YOU, I just overlooked the date and IT'S ALWAYS OK TO CORRECT ME! I appreciate that as I was planning to send the link to some of the folks in my SOI and it would have been a bit embarrassing!
Sally I appreciate the compliments on the presentation!
Dale Thank you again for dropping by and for pointing out my faux pas! I do appreciate that!
Sandra thank you for dropping by and please visit again soon.
Pat again, thanks for stopping in and i appreciate the heads up!
Russell good luck at your open house. I hope you land some good prospects.
there Russell, my friend
Thats what friends do for each other. I also know you would do the same for me.
Hi Russell-You are funny with this (I got the looks and brains both) and humble too. LOL
BillThanks, I am a person who actually enjoysopen houses because it allows me to connect with any of the neighbors in the areas where I work. It's also a good way to get more exposure for the home and I sometimesend up working with prospective buyers!
Dale Absolutely and I would help out any time!!
Pat my brother and I get along very well and he is actually a little more talkative and mischievous than me (I know...hard to believe)
Hi Russell - I'll tell you what....you are working your butt off these days. Something else, you have some gorgeous listings and I wish you speedy success on selling them all :-) Good luck!
Russell,
I have been peeping at your blog for some time now and you always have GREAT photos - which is a change from some the othe dribble we see now-a-days. Way to go!
Maryellen
there Russell
Just wanted to come by, to let ya know, that Google picked up my comment. To ya on your post here.
Gail I am very busy and along with my partners and associates, we are striving to make the best of the situation. I am so fortunate to work with a group of exceptional people who are successful in any market. This is the most challenging time I have seen since I first got into real estate in 1989. Thanks so much for dropping by!
Kevin & Mary EllenThanks, I appreciate anyone who visits and reads my somewhat inconsistent blog. I have been making the effort to post more about my real estate business but will continue to write local and opinion pieces since that's what i enjoy most. Please come by again soon!!
Dale Thanks again for the heads up and can you tell me how the google alerts work. I have still not explored that part of on line involvement! I will email you tomorrow! Take care!
The flyer shows well and your post is great. Did I miss something? The comments seem to indicate your date may have been different. I hope you post the entire list for your office effort. You all have picked 23 great homes to open next Sunday!
Mattie Thanks and yes it does look good. When I first posted this I inadvertently put in the wrong date but my very good friends here let me know and I quickly updated it it! I really appreciate the folks I know here!. BTW, I will try and post the entire list on Friday before the weekend!
Hi Russell, this is going to be quite the open house event. There are now 25 homes that will be open for preview on Sunday!
Erin Thanks for the update, I saw that you would also be holding a Balcones open house. It's great that we have such a good presence throughout the areas we are covering on Sunday!
Hey there, the number of homes that are now going to be open is up to 25!!! should make a good impression an any buyers in the areas represented! good luck tomorrow!
Allysoun I think it's going to be a great event. We should have a healthy turnout and it will certainly show our strengths in the neighborhoods!
Russell The landscape that shows in your post will warm folks up even before they go inside, Karen
Karen the seller had done an excellent job with the landscaping especially since it is our "winter" thanks for stopping by!
Hi Russell, I am checking in to see if the open house tour went well on Sunday!
Did you have good turnout? How about the other 25 homes AvenueOne had open? hope it went well!
Scott & Mattie My open house went very well and in fact it was almost too busy as I had 43 individuals and groups through. I understand that we made a great impression in the areas we represent so well because of the large block of quality listings that were open in our company wide effort!
