New agent with an open house this weekend…trainer out of town..?

Admin — Tue, 04 May 2010 16:38:55 +0000

Ok…so I just started as an agent today. I have an open house on Saturday and Sunday, but my trainer/mentor will be out of town. I have no idea what to say to people or what to do as they come in to see the house. I don’t expect to sell the house, but I will have mls sheets of other houses in the neighborhood to show if anyone is interested. My real problem is that I just need advice or a step by step guide on what to do or say as people ask questions and look around, much less if they actually want to buy a house I’ve shown. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Real Estate – Open House How to Advertise & To Who?

What do you think is better? Making a flyer and walking around the neighbor, putting it in mailboxes? Or, emailing the Open House flyer to all the real estate agents in the neighborhood? I already posted it on MLS, Craig’s List and on a website.

Thanks

Are foreclosed homes almost a different market than typical homes for sale?

I’m browsing real estate sales in my area and in the same neighborhood you might see widely different prices on homes sold recently.

I’m guessing that the really low prices are foreclosures and the not so low prices are typical home sales. Is this the case? If so, this gives some hope to those trying to sell their home for a more reasonable price.

If not, then I’m trying to figure out what can cause such a drastic disparity. For example, two virtually identical homes in the same neighborhood sold within days of each other: one at 5k and one at 5k.
