Your Mini Open House

Is it almost time for it?  Keep reading.
Thursday and Friday:

• The Coming Saturday sign might cause people to stop in front of the house.  Be cool.  Don't peek though the blinds or go talk to them.  Let the intrigue build.
• If someone contacts you about seeing it, please refer the call to us.  Ideally we will delay the first showings to Saturday.
• If we feel the need for a possible exception, we'll call you about it.

Saturday Morning:

• Please leave the house 15 minutes beforehand.
• Plan on being away an hour or more.  We might stay late for a crowd.
• We will contact you when we close the mini-open and give a brief report.
• If no one shows, don't worry.  Many open houses get shut out - even the 3-hour version.
• If eleventy million people show up, don't get too excited until we see offers.
• In other words, relax.  Same thought for the rest of the weekend.

Afterward through this first weekend:

• The easier you can make it for agents to show the house the better.
• Feel like spending the day in Fredericksburg or San Antonio?  Let us know when you'll be away and we'll post it in the agent-only remarks section of MLS.
• Out for a couple hours?  If your phone's voice mail is easy to change the message, you might mention something like "if you are calling to show the house before x o'clock, just head over.  We'll be gone till then.

Keep in mind that the first weekend is important but it doesn't tell us as much as offers or the first 10 days tell us.  No matter how the market reacts, John has been here before.  He will provide you experienced advice.
