In my office the other day a few of us were discussing the Real Estate market and we were sharing ideas on innovative ways we are trying to get our listings shown and sold....During the course of this conversation I mentioned I beleive in and host open houses almost every weekend. I was shocked to hear that my collegues viewed this as a waste of time.
Their arguement was premised on the fact that with virtual tours and the almost unlimited photos you can put online today that noone will come to an open house. To quote one of them "it is a complete waste of time". I personally totally disagree. Do I always have great success at open houses....no. But, I do get that additional exposure and have found more than one willing, able buyer come through my open houses. Without a doubt YES. In fact I recentyl was lucky enough to not only have soemone wanting to buy come through. They bought THAT house.
I have been in sales for over 20 years. One thing I have learned over the years is no one buys something that large without touching, feeling or walking through it. So why would you not hold an open house? Would you go buy a pair of shoes of a brand you have never worn before without trying them on? probably not. Would you buy a car without test driving it? never. SO, why would you purchase the largest investment of your life without going and looking at it? You would not.
Not only that but the feedback you can receive from potential buyers about the home, layout, space can do wonders to your marketing of the home and helping your sellers position their home for a quick sale. In addtion according to the most recent National Association of Realtors over 90% of home buyers start online and half of them are not dealing with a Realtor. What better way for them to preview a home they may have interest in than through an Open House...

Idlewild Charlotte, NC. 28212
Tucked away on the East side of Charlotte off Independence is a quiet family oriented area called Idlewild. The area between Albermarle Road and Idlewild Road reminds of me of the days when I was growing up. The streets are lined with trees and kids are outside playing. People are working on their yards and as you drive through the streets they still wave to you.
The neighborhood has homes mostly built in the 60's through 70's offers that old world charm with modern day convience. But what attracted me to the area most is the fact that most of the side streets are dead end streets or cul de sacs. Driving through the neighborhood during different parts of the day made me aware fo the lack of traffic and noise once you depart Independence Blvd. A great place for kids to play without worrying about someone driving through the neighborhood..... lots here seem to be of a good size allowing plenty of room for the kids to enjoy a yard.
As yo drive through the neighborhood you will notice the pride that people take in the care of their yard and homes..pride of home ownership is abundant here.
Becasue of it's convient location traffic is very minimal through the area. Bordered by three major roads this little pocket of east Charlotte offers peace and tranquility from the hustle of everyday life. Conviently located off Independence Blvd. this area of Charlotte is within ten to fifteen minutes of uptown. Yet also within minutes of dining, stores, and specialty shops.
Come and see what affordable housing in the idlewild area can give you.......
