The realtors here in Slidell, La are not doing open houses, I was told that they dont really generate sales. They are relying on the online virtual tours and from the number of hits i get on our house on line I can believe it. Our house had an ad with picture in the paper frequently but that also generated no calls. The realtors are if anything barely making a living with the poor sales market so I understand them not wanting to pay for ads but i wonder if you volunteered to pay for the ad if your agent would put the ad in the paper. I dont know that changing agents would solve the problem at all.
But if you want a Brokers open house go ahead and insist on it. You are the one doing all the work or preping your house the agent just has to arrange the time and date and show up.
