Open house blogging today

I will be blogging from my open house this
morning in the Highlands. I received a call from another agent yesterday
regarding this property. I put it in the MLS late Sunday night and said that no
showings were permitted until this morning…. Her clients were beaten out of
another property a few weeks ago because the Realtor was not honest about her
request that no showings be permitted. I guess it felt good to be able to say
that I mean what I say, because this trait is becoming such a
rarity.

know what to expect. Candor, bluntness and untiring dedication.
