Just Another Friday Open House List

Nothing to get excited about folks, move along:

These open houses aren’t particularly distinguished. They are the kind of homes that regular people live in day in and day out. I suppose they are OK for ordinary people. Hey, wait- that’s me! Maybe you are ordinary too and you might find just the thing here. But now I must change the subject with a little rant…

Have you noticed all the UPPERCASE text in real estate ads? All the !!!!!!! excitement. All the hype? Realtors, like any other salespeople, have to be ON when they are in the public eye. Kinetic and ebullient and full of themselves and their product. Do they ever get tired of it all? After spending an hour reading their obnoxious ad copy, I am exhausted. I couldn’t face an hour with a Realtor right now. All the more reason to respect their dedication.

Give them some love folks. These tireless workers are fighting to survive in a difficult time. Be patient with their pushy personalities and horrible listings and useless photographs. Grit your teeth and forge ahead. For you buyers and sellers it spells a few miserable months, but consider that these agents keep it up for years. Where is the monument that they deserve?

9270 Amy’s Street, Spring Valley

7 more units available here. Seller offering other incentives.

15935 Spring Oaks Road, El Cajon

If you come home drunk, you’ll never find the place. Located at Woodcreek Estates, there are ten other homes for sale here. They seem nice but that monthly maintenance fee is steep. There are more than the usual park amenities here.

As you tour the open houses this weekend, give a Realtor a hug. Let them feel that you understand the difficulty of their ambitious lives. Pretend that it’s all worthwhile.
