Hey Guys, I was with a colleague of mine in the construction field, in SC. He's says it's dead everywhere, as far as, building and home sales. Other construction companies are going out of state to find work, while other out-of-state workers are looking to come to SC. It's crazy. Is everyone terrified of an "impending doom" so they're all holding on to their money? Or is it because it's "election year" and everyone wants to wait and see (which I was told was a trend from years back)? Anyway, what's the vibe in other parts of the world besides SC?

I just got through commenting a real estate blog about how wasting half of your weekend cooped up in someone else's house is a waste of time. Thought I would share my experience.. It’s extremely hard to sell a home from a picture and a 25 word description, without being able to go inside the house. However, there is a way to “get inside” without having a agent throw open the doors and sit all Sunday long, waiting for that “lucky” prospects to walk in. I believe if you can not qualify your leads ahead of time, then ‘open house’ tactics are a waste of time. But, if you can show prospects 90% of a home (inside and out), before they even drive down the road, you will close them at the showing of the home. Why? Because you gave them all the information they needed ahead of time and when they see the home for themselves (and if it’s everything they hoped it would be) then you will close the deal. My experience of driving all over town to find the perfect home was tiresome and discouraging, I wish I had more pictures and more information. Ill send you a listings tool demo and see if it makes sense. Hope this saves people and gas. David D. IMS ims@advetisingagency1.com Qualify Your Leads & Make More Sales!
