Did you know; buyers spend 60 percent of their online
time viewing listing photos, but only 20 percent on the property description
and 20 percent on agent comments, according to research by Michael Seiler with
Old Dominion University, who tracked eye movements of 45 people viewing 10
online real estate listings with photos.

Meeting Strangers at an Empty House!
This is not a world like it used to be, bad things happen
all the time and in all sorts of places, even in real estate!
I had an incident in the late 80s with an agent who came
back after his clients left my open house, he closed the door, pushed me
against the wall and threatened me if I did not pay him his side of the commission,
scared the hell out of me! We did file a complaint but it seemed to fall on deaf
ears back then.
I do not meet strangers at a home for sale, I set up a
pre-showing appointment at my office beforehand then we may go look at the property. And
with all the marketing available today, is an open house necessary? I have
heard many other horror stories over the years about open houses and if or when I sell my own home, I will not have an open house, my neighborhood is a great neighborhood but it's not like it used to be, people lock their doors these days for a reason!
