Proper Balloon Placement

No more lowering prices to attract buyers?--that's a unique way to create demand for a product. Might as well give it a shot.....the "range pricing" and the "price will go up after Memorial Day" schemes didn't work.

My guess is that folks with cash sitting in uber-safe CD's making 5%+ will comfortably outlast folks who are experiencing "death through a thousand payments."

Is this Wal-mart? What would U Say?

Wow to nmosley! I'm just trying to sell a few houses! I did 4 open houses this weekend and had 3 houses on office tour Tuesday. Maybe I am an overachiever, but I'm just going to keep on working hard to sell something! If my balloons got the attention of this forum, then maybe there is a buyer who saw them as well! Even if they are tacky! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! This whole balloon discussion led me to an idea - I will split the profits if you all help me - what about a balloon shaped in the form of the various styles of South Walton architecture - beach cottage, west indies, etc! Much more creative than the festive and tacky balloons! Did I jump the shark?

Keep up the good work Supermom! Many realators have laid down a quit or on a permenant vacation. Keep doing what you are doing, and I promise you will make your share of sales! Plus, I like ballons on signs, they make things more festive Believe me, its the realators who can sell property in a down market that will have a future on the coast. Keep up the good work!

Joe, your avator has a really big mouth! Is she training for the next "Deep Throat" remake?

Correct ;-) I may not even need a couch...

Bobby, we need to contact some of those models that "Fabs" used for the Valentines Art party back in 2005 to work my open house this weekend. Do you know how I can get in touch with the gal who put that together? :clap_1:

sorry gang...flyforfun started posting on my computer!

How did you find that so fast? Not quite what I had in mind but gosh, you are quick!

S. Mom,

For over 2 years I've done so much research on housing & the economy that finding and retrieving stuff has become second nature.

I liked your initial post about the balloons. Best of luck with your sales...you've certainly got spunk!

did I miss something? strange display of balloons along Bay Drive today...pretty sure they do not conform.

I promise they are not mine! I laughed all the way to 98 when I saw them. I was wondering if someone was making fun of me! Fess up, who did it?

Supermom is SUPER and she has great balloons Oops, that doesn't sound right . . .

Keep up the good work!

Oh my gosh..Have you seen the balloon on Eastern Lake Road? One balloon in the air and about 20 dead on the ground. It is a FSBO so that would help explain the carnage. But really I think the code should be apply to FSBO'S as well. Shameful!:nono1:

Sounds like a case of balloon sabotage carried out by a faction of the NAR.

Ok proper ballon placement or not...we did an open house at One Seagrove Place today on our #803 unit and believe it or not had at least 8 couples walk through....at least two of those were very interested.

Was a good day after all! My only experience was very positive, balloon placement or not!

I think we have a contract!

Yes, we had balloons on the "open house" sign and up on the balcony! FYI!

They were for a garage sale...I think that violates the Florida Real Estate code - don't think you can use balloons unless you are a licensed agent...hope the FAR police don't find out.

WOW! Congrats! That sounds really positive! I heart balloons! :clap_1:

I'm not sure if it was the balloon placement or what...but at least we got an offer! Official...in writing...:clap_1:

Will keep y'all posted! (maybe I should go in the balloon business)

Things sure have changed since a year ago.

What color balloons, bb?

Things sure have changed since a year ago.
