Most people think that January is the slowest month for real estate! I think that’s just a fat excuse to enjoy the holidays a bit longer. In fact, I put my money where my mouth is, and we’re already seeing results!
That’s right. I made a $100 bet with my office that while others outside of our office are complaining about how slow things are, that we can manage to get at least 100 people to come to this house tomorrow. In fact, since I made my bet this past week, we put 3 homes under contract (in escrow), 2 of which were yesterday alone. I plan on doing at least one more tomorrow. That’s an average of 1 home sold every 3 1/2 days! Not a bad start for 2012!
In fact, if you want to get a glimpse on how eager buyers are today, here’s an email I just got 2 hours ago from a Realtor who got my acceptance on their offer:
Your phone call yesterday made one family off the roof, to the sky. They are very excited…!
We faxed all the missing signatures from Counter #1 and addendum. Please let me know when the escrow is open so they can bring their deposit check. The Lender was notified and she is meeting with them tomorrow to start the lending process.
Thank you!
As for tomorrow, we already have interested people in this home and it’s not even listed. All offers will be reviewed on Monday so I encourage you to stop by. Click on any of the pictures below to get more info (and to see more pictures).
This home will be open between the hours of 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.. We will have plenty of refreshments & snacks. We’re also going to be giving away a ton of prizes and informational materials that you don’t want to miss out on. This information will be useful whether you’re thinking of buying or selling.
I will also be there myself personally to make sure we answer as many questions as possible. If you are a buyer or seller or just want to get a sense on how we move homes here at Arbitrage, you’ve gotta come by!
Have a great Saturday evening and thanks for sharing this email with your families and friends.
P.S. Got an iPhone? Bring it with you tomorrow. I’ll help you load one of the best tools that I use (personally) in today’s market. You will not be able to upload it yourself through the Apple App store. I’ll share my access code with you and you’ll leave the open house with the biggest smile on your face — I PROMISE!
