If they are like me, they don't want to have a realtor show them around, because they are really not ready to buy. We look at open houses often, as we plan to buy if our house sells, and it is an interesting, and entertaining pastime for us. Occasionally an open house is cancelled, and I understand -- stuff happens. The PROBLEM is that, too often they cancel and don't even put out a sign in the yard of the home stating it has been cancelled. When they put a sign out, you can see it as you drive by, and move on. If no sign, it causes you to wonder if they just didn't get the open house flag out, and you park, walk to the home, and find the door locked. That is an inconvenience and could have been prevented by simply dropping by, or having a realtor associate drop by, and put up a cancellation sign. For real estate people associated with The Villages in in unconscionable, for there are so many they could solve this with a phone call. It is not a huge deal, or the end of the world as we know it, but it is frustrating and a poor marketing strategy for a company otherwise so astute at marketing.
