Why Open Houses?

Hey Jon, I think the real estate analogy is a good one. <br /> <br />Too many 'open houses' I've been to really should have been called "we want you to stand in awe of our amazing layout, shut up, and watch us play"... <br /> <br />Same with every open house I've ever been too with the owners in attendance had the same problem (having recently moved and bought a house, it's a fresh memory). The owners are so buy wanting you to be impressed with them and they're house that they get in the way of looking... "no, no, don't look at that, look at the walnut cabinets I had put in - real amish craftsmanship!" without bothering to ponder that I had dark tone woods and am thinking about what it will cost me to rip 'em out and put new ones in... (and am, of course, mostly interested in how layout-friendly the basement is). I drove the real estate agent NUTZ insisting on how I did not want a "finished" basement - she just couldn't get it.... <br /> <br />Same thing with open houses. Too many times I feel like folks are trying to feed their egos and impress me, rather than letting me look, ask and talk...
