I’d love to tell you more about this Landale property. There is a long description of it but it’s in ALL CAPITALS and gives me a headache. I’m not sure it qualifies as an open house either as no day is given. It seems you have to call for an appointment. Until more of the ‘boom’ Realtors are eliminated by the ‘bust’, I suppose we’ll have to put up with defective listings. With luck, only the professionals will remain.

Actually there are lots of open houses this weekend, but some don’t provide an address or MLS number. It’s all about sales manipulation and the agents seem to be hoping that you will call for the missing information. Maybe they are hoping that they won’t have to actually open the house if they don’t get calls. I can understand that, but it doesn’t seem to be in the spirit of open house tradition. Agents used to make a commitment to the listing and the seller that they represent. With sales per agent slipping badly, you’d think there would be more commitment, not less.
