Thanks Bobby! You give the best advice.

I have a funny idea- drumming to my own beat. My seller for the auction rented her house the entire time we are having these open houses proceeding the big day. So, tomorrow- I have a two hour window to show the home (and I can't use signs in Rosemary). So I am going to take Maia with me and we are going to have a lemonade stand on the boardwalk in front of her house.

It may seem weird, but I think that people will come to the lemonade stand and then I can tell them about the house being in the auction. Maybe show it to those interested.

Maia really wants to do a lemonade stand--- so- I am killing two birds with one stone...:D

...once you 'set the hook' with <I hope> free lemonade, 'reel them in' to the house with the promise of some "Easter theme" snacks inside to nibble on with their lemonade while they look around--that sounds like a capital idea. Even if they're not in the market, you'll off-load your business card, get a few names, and generate some buzz among the lookie-loos and some possible buyers.

Hide some filled easter eggs around the house for the kids to find (don't mention it, just let them keep it if they ask)....Oh! and don't forget balloons, lots and lots of balloons!!

Think happy thoughts .... Balloons are so 2007 Shelly! Wake up. You really are slow to the draw lately. What up?

Really. The balloon part sounded as if you were making fun. Sorry, if you were being serious.

Probably so on that, but not maliciously. I doubt Shelly will ever put on the pom-poms. My 2pf as a disinterested observer.
 
Well, I didn't do the lemonade stand this weekend. Maia was really into the creek by our house, and since my man was home, I thought she would rather stay home and play today.

I did get some people through the house (even without signage). It was fun... but I am still feeling out of my skin on the other side of real estate.

I should tell you guys, I got the cover of The Beachcomber! - I wrote a story about the auction. The article and images are a full-page on the inside, while I submitted a famous Sotheby's auction painting for the cover.

It hit the shelves yesterday and I already received two calls. I wish I had a the budget and the gig to marketing the whole auction. Maybe next time, if there is a next time...
