In an age where technology rules, open houses don’t quite hold the importance they perhaps once did in the real estate industry.
On a good day, a determined Realtor in the local market might get 10 people to walk through a home they are trying to sell during an open house event, and half of those people will likely just be curious neighbors with no intention of buying the home.
With that in mind, local Realtor with Bloomtree Realty Rosie Carroll decided to do something a little unusual to attract a larger crowd to an open house she recently held at one of her listings. Since the home was built in 1924, Carroll had the idea to dress up in 1920s garb, park a car from the 1920s in the driveway and fill the vacant home with items that one might have found in a home during the era.
