Most real estate companies in Hattiesburg have sales meetings on Tuesday morning. It's been like that at every company I've ever worked at. One local tradition agents enjoy is the REALTOR open house. It works really well when real estate agents from different companies get together and have homes in the same neighborhood for sale open at the same time. There will be appetizers at one house, lunch at one and then dessert. It really gives us a chance to tour houses, give feedback and just generally check in with each other. And IT helps us see what is on the market even if we aren't showing in that price range.
So today Jane Kingsafer, Angela Duncan, and I made the rounds. We went from Southwest Hattiesburg to Bridgfield. And we saw everything from groovy vintage orange shag carpet (and it was pristine), to a stuffed cat who I swear may have once been a real cat, to the most FABULOUS New Orleans courtyard in Bridgefield Estates. Phil Gattuso made corn dip (Jane's recipe) and it was delicious but I think Susan Smith wins the award for best brownies ever.
You might think we are just goofing around, but this really is a great way to get agents through a listing and get some honest feedback and input.
I'm holding a listing in Purvis open next week. I'm not sure I'll be able to top those brownies!
