To day I decided to “pass” on doing open house the way I have been religiously doing since the beginning of the season….I mean like every year during season since I am in business in Palm Springs area. It is a way to meet potential buyers or sellers. I must admit that 60% of my customers, I have met sometime or another at an open house. But times are changing and when I woke up this morning and went to my computer ..there were 3 emails from people asking for information on properties and how to buy , and taxes…well in fact potential buyers. I took care of that business and I might just sell a condo or a home to one of the three….Does that mean that I should stop doing open houses ? I guess not because I still have to be on the terrain to meet the people and really “hear’ what the market is telling us. Still I love the internet and what it is bringing to our business..Would you start looking on the internet or would you look in a magazine pictures of properties that might be already “expired” or “sold”.  The internet really gives a NOW information. I am quite good at  follow up and I am happy I chose to do so much of my business over the internet
