    Teresa - I think you are spot on (no surprise there). I had a debate with someone just yesterday about this. I am not an agent but I always saw open houses as a sign of weakness, that perhaps the property was over priced or had a defect. I always saw it more as a technique for agents to meet buyers for other properties. I would think that most sellers expect an open house or the agent isn't "doing their job" but that's old school thinking.

    I have 2 blogs, but one of them is solely my content and the other has guest authors that supplement my own writing and are appraiser colleagues of mine. It's more narrowly defined and has less content. I've always looked at blogging as a personal release for my passion about a topic. If its a mechanical process, and not passionate, then the reader can tell. If you ever don't feel like writing. Don't. Please. Otherwise it's a job. Matrix: Interpreting the real estate economy

Ali - you are no longer a rookie - there's nothing more seasoned than a professional recommending others more qualified to answer a question for your customer.
