Happy Memorial Day Weekend... Open Houses

Let me wish all of you a very happy Memorial Day Weekend and Memorial Day. On Monday we celebrate the men and women that gave their lives for our freedom. An amazing sacrifice for our Country which deserves our deepest respect and recognition.

My godfather, a proud veteran of the Vietnam War and resident of Vista, CA always reminds me that Memorial Day belongs to these heroes, which is why Veterans Day is a separate holiday celebrating the living veterans of war.

I hope you have the opportunity to set business aside for the weekend and enjoy this blessing we call freedom by spending your time with your loved ones, but if you are committed to working, let me suggest the following.

American flags at open houses this weekend will go along way. How about grilling some hot dogs in the front yard for those that stop by. Show them the home, then take them out front for a cold Coke and hot dog. It'll give you a good five minutes to talk about there plans for buying a home. This will set you apart while giving you time to learn a little about what they are looking for while building rapport. While you wait for people, you can work on your tan out front, meet the neighbors (renters often become buyers, and owners will eventually become sellers) and enjoy the sunshine. Don't forget your radio to keep it fun.

Advertising VA financing is an option many agents holding open houses this weekend may want to consider. I demonstrates your commitment to veterans and our armed forces, while recognizing their service, on a respectful holiday.

All things considered... everyone have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, whether working or not, be safe, and when it comes to preapprovals we look forward to assisting you.
