365 things to do in Worcester County - become a street walker for real estate.  I've discovered a new adventure - Street Walking.  This is a very rigorous sport.  I'm calling it a sprort because walking up to over 100 doors takes not only time but also, endurance.  As a matter of fact, my legs were hurting for days.  My husband was asking why our blanket smelled of Bangay.  I'm telling you, it's an extreme sport.  So what is Street walking for real estate, you ask?  Well, it's walking around the neighborhood you are selling your listing, and promoting the property and introducing your self to all of the residents.  The first time I did this, I stopped by over 100 homes and gave them my postcard information on the home with an invitation to the neighbors.  This time, I brought a postcard... 11/02/2010

365 things to do in Worcester County - hold an open house at 61 Londonderry Rd., Grafton.  Anyone ever thought of selling a home, would want to have as many people as possible see ones home.  Having people/ agents contact you the seller is the ideal way because you know that these people are seriously looking at your home with the intention of purchasing the property. The second best way, in my opinion is to hold an open house.  But just to set a time and open the doors is really not beneficial to either the home owner or the real estate agent.  I believe that the timing has to be right.  If you think of the selling process as a roller coaster, I like to set up a home inspection not at the beginning of the ride, but as close to the top of the first hill as possible and may be later as t... 10/11/2010
