ULTIMATE OPEN HOUSE! EVERETT, WASHINGTON, Wednesday, September 3, 2014
Doug Schreifels, Senior Loan Officer at our Everett Branch, and his business partner Lar-ry Schreifels, Real Estate Broker at Fireside Homes, pounded the pavement this past holiday weekend staging and sitting an open house Friday, Saturday and Sunday with an additional brokers open yesterday.
Their hard work paid off in the form of great foot traffic through the property and a lot of positive feedback from agents that stopped by. Doug finished the weekend with one buyer looking to finance with him and a dozen realtors looking to sit down and learn more.
M A R K E T I N G

As is usually the case, people can’t believe all of the work that is put in to placing all of the road signs out. The location of this property is ideal for our Ultimate Open House pro-gram. It’s in Richmond beach a few blocks from the water. Those of you familiar with the area will know that Richmond Beach Drive acts like a funnel and there’s only one way to go. Doug went above and beyond directing traffic from as far as Aurora.
Both Doug and Larry passed out all of their fli-ers and cards and running out before the end of Sunday. We haven’t seen this much foot traffic in a while so we’ll be better prepared next time.
The property itself was out of most people’s price range, but they had some great con-versations and consistently had people touring the house one after the other.
Property Address: 2502 NW 192nd Place, Shoreline, WA 98177
Friday – 17 groups of potential clients, 8 realtors, and 9 neighbors
Saturday – 12 people before noon (builder was on site keeping count) 18 groups of po-tential clients during the opens official hours, 2 realtors and 12 neighbors
Sunday – 5 people walked through
Tuesday (brokers open) – 14 potential clients, 12 agents
