Great idea Pat. We need to add some "POSITIVE" to the US real estate message. Our firm, Windermere (Washington state largest real estate market share by far) has had 2 State Wide company-wide open houses so far (one in 2007 and 2008). Lot's of publicity. I am on the Board of the Snohomish County - Camano Association of Realtors and we are condsidering a COUNTY WIDE open house as we speak. Now, your idea would really be cool. Get the MEDIA involved. See if they could actually come up with something POSITIVE. You have my vote.

"This really is a great time to buy a new home. If we as professionals don`t go out and tell the public. Who will?"

National Open House Day, what a great idea. I hope it went well. Every Sunday is open house day around here. Any new ideas and concepts are always welcome.

Yes, I am a home buyer too (like CEO of Trulia :-) In fact, I just made an offer of this $1.789m house in Warren (this house would worth at least $3.5m in CA). I am not a realtor although I am much more knowledgable than most realtors because I am "real estate downside expert". I am very successful in helping realtors, sellers, buyers to have a match since "matching is NP Complete problem" and it is an open question; I got the solution, not yet published.

I help realtors, buyers and sellers, and also mortgage bankers and lawyers... just everyone in the real estate business because my work is Nobel prize level of work on "Economics" and "Peace" and Computer Turing Award (Nobel prize). I have an Economics model with Web 3.0 technologies (hey! many still just step into Web 2.0) and if I can help millions of American families to sell and buy in a lighting fast of method; I deserved the awards.

I am in the business to help homeless to get a home, and help poors to become rich, and rich to become millionairs, and millionaires like Trulia to become billionaires.

Ideally, you need to have open house every weekend, and with 4 consecutive open houses, there is NO home won't sell, but listing agents have that problem. Community Open House is much better way and effective, and it is PROVEN. Selling house is NOT political campaign. It is a simple "matching" process to match "buyers and seller".

If you think of matching "girls and boys", would you hold a National Dating Day for ALL girls and boys to meet? NO! Firstly, frequency is not enough. 2ndly, boys and girls can be matched "locally", NOT remotely, with very few exception. I know many people find their spouse in chatroom of just dozens of members. So,matching is a local activities. Put a word "National" is politics.

I said it very clearly that you need to get condo/townhouses sold first due to the fact many first time buyers in apartment can just go to buy without contingency. To be more precise, each 1st and 15th of month, 1/24 of the tenants will receive lease expiration notice to be either swallow the rent hike or move out within 60 days. So, you need to catch that 60 days window to help first time buyers to find, buy, mortgage and move in. It is not easy if you do not know how. If they can not, they may go back to renew for another year, and you lost those buyers ...

Once condo/townhouses or small houses under $450k sold, the sellers become "buyers". So, the beauty of this game is that YOU NEVER EXHAUST buyers. They more buyers buy, the more buyers created.

You need to Trulia because I carefully examine Top 20 real estate website quoted by USA Today last December, Trulia is the one can be easily match my model.

Realtor.com is largest but lost 10% visitors last year, 2nd largest was Yahoo with 48% increase of visits, but that's because of my thousands of real estate community yahoo groups. Yahoo will definitely drop this year due to the fact I no longer using Yahoo!Groups.

Also, using Trulia or just any website, to my Web 3.0 prototype, they are just a storage. e.g. If you search with google on any address, Google gave Trulia #1 in searching. I guess Trulia paid Google for ads? Anyway, I need to have a media to "educate" millions of realtors in the US, and Trulia is a great site.

So far, most people still thinking "get max exposure" of a property, but my model works reversely, ONLY show prospective buyers. If you are not buying condo at Mape Grove, I won't let you see them. So, if there are only 100 buyers in this world will buy condo at Maple Grove, they will find me. All others won't.

e.g. Pete at Edison Hollow South told me, he virtually visit over 100 condo/townhouse communities and nothing match till he came across my message on Edison Hollow South open house, and he came to see it; that's it. He made an offer and bought it.

If you ask any realtors in Edison NJ area, they would NOT know that I have been helping them by sending "matched prospective buyers" their way. They could just tell you Edison is great, booming, real estate sales so fast ..etc. They would jusy say, market like Edison. Some like Melisa at Starpoint Piscataway may tell you. "Amazing! I just listed and the buyers came, and when they came they just made offer and buy." "They seems to know the town, community, neighbors, schools, ...etc very well." as if they used to live here.

Heard about Second Life website? Their concept is for people to live in a cyber space to be what they could NOT be in real world, e.g. millionaire ...etc. My concept is for prospective buyers to live in their future commuity to know their future neighbors, schools, all REAL, so, say, two years later they want to move out of apartment to buy a condo or townhouse, they know exactly where and what to buy and act fastest. Remember that 60 days limit? You either "create" a first time buyer and then turn seller of condo/townhouse to be bigger home buyer, or you lose ...

I am quite intrigue by your answer, Dr. Cheng.

A question, your profile says your are a Home Buyer in Central NJ. Bur obviously, you are not just a home buyer but a real estate pro to some degree and a quite successful one (according to what you said). .

It seems to me you are certain organizer / business that help agent to sell their condos/ town homes, specifically. The last paragraph of "2. Provide a mechnism for realtors to hold Community Open House for all listing agents. Currently, I did it buy broadcasting thru all listing agents of a community thru email addresses on realtors.com and I gave listing agent incentive buy getting 1,000 invitation flyers out to "Prospective Buyers".

I am curious as to what business are you in?

Yes, it'd be nice to have a Spring National Open House Day, but not just for condos and town homes and not limited to Trulia.

Patrick??

Sylvia

I just saw this one when click on the best trulia voice, but I was very excited that Patrick used my pattened phrase "Community Open House" @

Here is how Community Open House works on downside real estate to get a community of condos or townhouses sold out, and I have proved it works almost 100% and hopefully you all realtors can benefit from this.

1. Every realtor has a few buyers for some community, say, Maple Grove at Piscataway http://maplegroveatpiscataway.blogspot.com/ but not a lot. an isolated open house could have very few visitors with just a sign and balloons.

2. In summer 2007, there were dozens units listing for sale in the community, how to sell them? We organized a "Community Open House" to invite all listing agents of Maple Grove to hold open house at the SAME Sunday afternoon. So, you can guess, each realtor bring in just 3 to 5 buyers from his or her marketing channel, with dozen open houses, you got several dozens of buyers.

3. Buyers are normal people like to have some peer pressure to take action, and when buyers see so many other buyers on the sign up sheets, they made offers on the units they like right away. So, many units got multiple offers. Yes, you need 3 to 5 offers to bid up to fair market price.

4. Before Community Open House, we invited Piscataway High School Environmental Club students and Rortary Club roadside cleaning team to get all streets sparkly clean, not even a cigaratte budd, from all major highway exits all the way to the community. We get township to patch hundreds of potholes and some road like Birch Run, Sewell St... the township even came to pave. We also get Health Dept to send inspectors to get environment grass cut and trees trimed.

5. We form a "Community Group"@ based on Yahoo!Groups for all who interested in Maple Grove, and have the listing agents to post SOLD info in real time so that several dozens of buyers came to Community Open House kept inform of which unit sold. Amazingly, many buyers decided to buy than wait, and they invited many more other prospective buyers to join the community group.

6. The result is that the whole community almost SOLD OUT. And dozens of sellers who were able to sold their condo/townhouses went to buy bigger homes at Bridgewater, Branchburg, Warren, Greenbrook, ...etc.

7. Later you saw most listing agents of this community came from those towns, NOT Piscataway because they have identified the "Migration Paths"@

So, what do you realtors learn from this business strategy? If you are interested in, I can show you more on how to get a condo or townhouse community sold out. And, it is important to realize houses over $450k may not be affordable by first time buyer due to the $417,000 limit. So, selling condo and townhouses create huge amount of move up buyers for bigger homes.

If you look at craigslist closely http://cnj.craigslist.org/search/rfs?query=stn+just+sold&… especially Trulia's CEO or CTO, you can see the proof by yourself.

This is proven technique, and we have been using it for past two years here. It could be proven because it is based on Computer Theory in Combinatorics I learned at UC Berkeley where I went for bother under and grad on EECS/CS. This theory is called Pegion Hole Theory.

What is says is, basically, if you have N pegions fly to fewer than N holes, then you got to have a hole with at least TWO pegions. e.g. if you have 3 holes and 5 pegions, you can tell one hole got to have at least one pegion.

Ok, now coming back to your condo and townhouse community. If you have 30 units (holes) listing for sale, how many buyers (pegions) you need to bring in so that each unit would have more than one buyer?

Let's generalize a bit, you know you need to have 3 to 5 offers to have a unit sold to the full price, or fair market price, and you got 30 units listing at market, how many buyers you need to bring to the community? What is the minimum buyers you need to get this community SOLD OUT?

So, after understanding this theory and application, you know you have the power to get any condo/townhouse community SOLD OUT, or very close to, since many realtors as soon as heard the news a community moving very fast, they shall come to persuade more owners to listing their units.

Suggestions to Trulia CEO or CTO (I saw you are on this forum):

1. Provide "Community Group"@ for each and every condo/townhouse community in the US, it may be 100,000 or more. I used to run several thousands of Yahoo!Group, each condo/townhouse and apartment complex, I all had a community yahoo group. You can implement with Trulia Voice forum, which is sufficient. I will show you.

2. Provide a mechnism for realtors to hold Community Open House for all listing agents. Currently, I did it buy broadcasting thru all listing agents of a community thru email addresses on realtors.com and I gave listing agent incentive buy getting 1,000 invitation flyers out to "Prospective Buyers".

Interesting idea! Why don't we get started on another one? February????

I met some agents from Delaware today and they will participate next time.

I'm pretty sure Coldwell Banker did this a few years ago. Seemed like a good idea.

I would like to say a special thank you to the John and Susan Real Estate Team of the KW Grass Valley (California) market center. I e-mailed them with the info for the National Open House a week ago and they will have 7 of their listings open tomorrow. Way to go John and Susan!!!

Awesome guys! Next time we do this it will be even better. I will be bringing in Tennesse, Mississippi and Louisiana.

Ruth we or I think have 25 or 26. states it is 8:39 pm in AZ.
I called about 10 Realtors in Maui until I spoke to somone live . Mr. Ken Smith of Maui Real Estate, was driving when I called, he told me to email him the info they were having a open tomorrow. He would register in the next two hours.

So now we have NY to Hawaii, that is cool.

Congratulations!!! We broke the 300 mark!
Ruth

I just checked the list of Open Houses, and was so thrilled to see the participation. New Jersey seems to be holding its own. The AZ people have been working really hard! And, California, too! Thanks to all who have joined in the efforts so far. Let's hope for good weather everywhere tomorrow. I will be curious to hear the results for Open House Hosts everywhere.
Deborah

COME ON FOLKS! TOMORROW IS THE DAY!

WE ONLY NEED TWO MORE OPEN HOUSES AND WE WILL HAVE

300

WHO IS IT GOING TO BE?

RUTH

Hello Everyone,

Great Idea and I'm pleased to say I have registered and represent Las Vegas, Nevada. Im a little surprised with our slow market that we do not have more support from Las Vegas. Good Luck to Everyone this Weekend!!!

Beautiful 1/2 page ad in the Roseville Press Tribune on Halloween. It is not posted online (yet). Thanks to Joellinda Hannigan for the gorgeous photo and thank you to the RPT Real Estate section! Going for the TV interview this weekend.

Hello everybody. Just wanted everybody to know that our Auburn KW ALC (Associate Leadership Council) has put out an open house challenge at today's meeting and sent out the following e-mail message to everybody:

"Today we challenged each ALC member to host at least 5 open houses this Sunday for the National Open House Day! As an added bonus, we decided to put a $50 Starbucks gift card on the line as an incentive!!! The ALC thought it would be a good idea to share the challenge (and possibly the prize) with the entire office, so here are the rules!

1) You must host at least 5 open houses on the 4th. to be considered.
a. If you have your own listings, you can have others host the homes for you, but YOU must make the arrangements to have them host and you must host ONE of them. If you do not have your own listings, you must arrange for at least 5 open houses to be hosted by your fellow agents as well as you must host one. We have many agents who would love to have you hold their listings open so get out there and get your team ready to go! Or any other combination of at least 5 open houses as long as you are the organizer of the 5 open houses.

2) You must email your name (host) and the property you will be hosting, along with the names of the other agents who will be hosting NO LATER THEN NOON ON FRIDAY!!!!!
a. See example below


3) The agent who has hosted (or arranged for hosting) the highest number of houses (has to be at least 5) will be awarded the $50 Starbucks card.
a. Should there be a tie, we will hold a drawing for the winner

We will be compiling a master “Keller Williams, Open House Tour” sheet for you to hand out at your open house, so we need your information no later then noon on Friday so that we can get this list to you Friday by 5pm."

Yes, a follow up e-mail went out minutes later to remind everybody to register their open house at http://www.national-open-house.com

Happy Halloween, indeed. This year, no tricks. Only treats.

Great properties at great values.

Find yours at http://www.national-open-house.com

Thanks for reading the article and commenting Patrick. I have been marketing your event as hard as I can because I think it is such a fantastic idea and the response and participation has been amazing. Teamwork yields amazing results!

Since you mentioned it Patrick, I though I would explain the GLG group a bit. The group is a collection of subject matter experts in a variety of fields as well as regions who get paid to discuss their subject matter and forecast the future. Your world-wide ranking depends on the quality of your consultations determined by the feedback from clients you consulted with. I believe that they invite you to post to GLG News once you reach the top 5%. I represent the greater Washington DC/Baltimore region (right now the region has 49 reps). They are always looking for people to represent different regions so if any of you are tracking data for a region and doing some trend analysis and have an interest in consulting, send me an e-mail with the region you wish to represent and I can send them your information.

This is going to be an awesome weekend with all the participation going on across the nation.

We now have OVER 200 properties!!!

We are working daily to approve all the new entries. Please come join us at:

Special shout out to Heather, Alisa, and Kelly at Trulia. Thanks for all your help.

All hands on deck! The registrations are coming fast and furious. Just emailed all local Realty Executives here in the greater Phoenix area to get their open houses registered by the end of the day. Within five minutes, we had 3 new sign-ups. I expect a wave of activity today. It's a bid deal within my company, make it a big deal within yours!

Many thanks to Pete and Trulia for their support, as well as this for providing this great platform for promoting a positive message. This isn't about us. This is about the buyers and sellers out there who need to meet!

Agents: GET REGISTERED TODAY at http://www.national-open-house.com
Buyers: Go to the list of open houses on the site to find the perfect one(s) in your community to visit!

Thanks Pete. I think your quote in our press release helped. I just approved so many new listings that I lost count. They were from assorted states. We are now up to 146 homes. I logged on because the there were 122 posts here and I was thinking last night there were 122 home listed. Just a fun coincidence.
Ruth

This is a great initiative, kudos to the community and the organizers!

It is really great that the Trulia Voices community has launched this innovative and well needed service.
I'm excited for the 4th of November!

Pete Flint
CEO, Co-Founder Trulia.com

I wrote an analysis on the press release. More publicity. Let's hope for a grand success on Nov. 4th. Great work everyone!

I just received a comment on my blog at Activerain - WHY, WHERE, WHAT, and JOINT NATIONAL OPEN HOUSE DAY

Comment by Elizabeth Weintraub, Sacramento Real Estate Broker:

Thanks, Sylvia. I wondered if I would find a post here on Active Rain about the National Open House Day. I read a press release in the Sacramento Bee and signed up for it pronto. Within 30 minutes, I received a response back that my Midtown Sacramento listing had been posted. Great Web site and idea! IIRC, agents have until tomorrow to post listing requests.

I have another idea. While handing out candy to the trick or treaters on Halloween night or preparing a bag of goodies for them, hand out a flyer of the National Open House to the parents and tell them about it. I am planning to hand out candy and flyers at my listing and talk to the parents about coming to see the home on Sunday November 4th. My clients loved the idea.

Found a listing yet? Know someone who love to have their property indexed by the almighty Google?

We are offering a FREE space for a link to your website on our home page and a another FREE separate page to register and link your property (photos, description and all).

Ruth

Hello everybody. I took Sylvia's challenge to get a new listing in time for the National Open House Day. The listing that I wanted to hold open won't be quite ready for an open house on Nov. 4th and I was able to get a new listing to hold open. My client is thrilled to be part of the National Open House Day.

THanks Michael!

Another State! Good going! No. 20 out of 50!!!
http://www.national-Open-House.com

Time to jump on the wagon...

I added one of my listings to the national open house. I'll talk to some of my colleges here in Minnesota and see if we can add a few more.
Michael

In case you were a die-hard football fan: Dallas, Philly, Chicago, Miami, NY, St. Louis, Baltimore and Pittsburgh are on a bye, night game or on MNF. :-)

Yes, Patrick,
That is a tough one. I really want to ask for it as well but I don't feel quite as deserving as Jeffery who hasn't even posted or Heather who as you said, "What was she thinking!"

But then again, I did get the web address: http://www.national-open-house.com
Maybe you should wait to award the answer until we see if I get John Stossel to interview us.

Ruth

So go ahead and vote already while it is still fresh in your conscience! If you look at my stats, I sure could use it. Go Patrick go!

Thank you Mansur, that is a great press release. I am sure we will have a great return on your efforts.

Paul asked me to review the post, and pick the Best Answer. That is a tough one. Your efforts alone Mansur are worthy of the best Answer.

Sylvia`s challenge for Realtors to go out and get a listing just for the National open House. WOW!

Ruth's famous hypothetical post. I am still having nightmares about John Stossel.

Paul with the first outside post to Active Rain. You must read his best man blog.

Ute`s efforts to take us to the airwaves on KAHI am. Not once ,but three times.

Deborah`s all around administration, legal efforts to keep us on course. Multi Task 2.0

Somewhere in NJ there`s a IT guy named Jeffery Demos, who we all owe our sanity to.

Heather O. first post , Volunteering her ability's as a graphic artist, What was she thinking?

Bridgette's, Call to action, even though she secretly admitted that she hates open houses.

Pam, She was the only response I received from my mass e mailing.

Tobie, She called Jimmy Carter.

Patti, Who plans to announce the National Open House at her next wedding gig.

ED, Just because he`s ED.

Real estate.....it`s a beautiful thing.

I sent in the following press release to several places and wanted to share in case others are doing press releases and want to use a variation:

REALTORS® and their neighbors all across USA are coordinating the first ever National Open House on Sunday, November 4, 2007. The idea originated during a discussion among real estate agents and buyers and sellers on the real estate web-site http://www.trulia.com where people can exchange ideas, issues, problems and solutions related to real estate . By holding a coordinated National Open House, participants hope to energize buyers who are sitting on the fence to buy into America by taking a look at some of the amazing buying opportunities available on the market at this time.

The following states have already signed up: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin. To see details or sign up to join the National Open House effort, visit http://www.national-open-house.com

It must be the warmer weather -- 32 from Arizona and 13 from California so far -- wow -- I did get 3 from MD. It has been unusually warm here so far. I have sent in a press release to four newspapers -- let's hope someone picks it up.

You guys have done a great job with the web site. I mean a great job! Thanks for all of your work! I can't wait to see the end results.

12 and 1/2 days to go, 16 states down and 34 states to go.

How difficult is it to get your picture, website registered on the http://www.national-open-house.com ?

Heather, Deborah and Ruth worked together (with other input) to get this site as easy to enter as possible for you!
Just go and submit your picture, enter your website info and later on, come back and submit the property (ties) you want to hold open house for on

NOVEMBER 4, SUNDAY, NATIONAL OPEN HOUSE DAY - Daylight Savings Day and time for your sellers to get more exposure and buyers to have more opportunity to shop online for their perfect home.

All names have recategorized and all info resubmitted, take a look:

Two new agents from Coldwell Banker - Roseville / Granite Bay office.
I am trying to get my family Maryland listing on Mansur.

Submit a request for a story to your local TV station or newspaper with the press release.
Thanks to all that have posted links and logos on their websites, active rain and blogs.
