Welcome to MaureenMcCabe.com

My website is MaureenMcCabe.com  It's just a Real Living website... nothin fancy. On my website are a list of all current Real Living HER open houses.  There are 90 plus on the list for this week.  Super Bowl Sunday? 

Last weekend about 280 open houses were listed on the Real Living website and thus my website.  The 280 included my 2 - 4 , Sunday January 27, 2008 Open House  in the Village of Minerva Park.  Minerva Park is inside 270 on the Northeast side.

While on my way to my open house I picked up a call yesterday that said:

“uh Hi Maureen my name is Jason I’m uh at XXX S. Wall St. with some friends of mine.  We were uh taking a look at the… we  wanted to go through the open house at the condo here at  uh Brewers Gate and uh  we’re here, it’s about 1:40  and uh there’s no one here, the door is not uh open uh for the unit.  So if you could please give me a call back.  We would love to take a look at this unit. 

uh the number is 614-XXX-XXX, XXX-XXXX again the name is Jason. Thank you. “

…hmmm downtown at someone's open house but for some reason he thinks I ought to be there.  Poor confused Jason.  Jason is NOT my client.  The listing he is calling on is NOT my listing…

That happens occasionally…

After putting up signs at my open house, opening the door, turning on lights, I tried to find someone via phone to look at the open house list online for the numbers that Jason was obviously oblivious to… no luck finding someone who could look at it online…  Before calling Jason back to try to help him I worked with  the first couple who I arrived at my open house…

Then I returned Jason’s call and tried to tell him he’d contacted the wrong person...  Jason on the phone was not as uh polite… as his voicemail.

Jason never waivered in his belief that I was supposed to be in the Brewery District, so he and his friends could get into that condo.  He was reading “presented by” on my website so I ought to be there… at that open house...

I got the impression Jason was looking at my website on mobile device… maybe it was not there in the way he was looking at it.  He was on my website, and he is welcome to be on my website, but all 280 plus Real Living HER open houses Sunday were "presented by" me on my website.  Go to another Real Living HER agent's website and all 280+ open houses will be presented by that agent....  

If Jasone needed to contact someone about the listing agent was right below my name: 

Property listing courtesy of:  Real Living HER (Metro Office)
Office: 614-221-7400
Fax: 614-220-4350
 
Listing Agent Name
Direct: (614) XXX-XXXX
Fax: (614)XXX-XXXX

Jason said no there was no contact info there.  No link to click to the open house. OK. (?)

There is a link to the open house list which would also have the contact info for the listing agent and whomever is hosting the Open House.  If you click on the open house link it will take you to a list of open houses with WHO the listing agent is and WHO is hosting the open house with all the contact info you need, to contact someone who… uh cares.

I'd love to hear from you if you have a comment on the topic of looking at listings online or open houses. All comments are moderated so you will not see your comment immediately. Thanks.
