(While my guests aren't tourists, they are are movie industry workers, tourist industry workers, and construction workers...all of whom work a lot less or leave the area in the colder months.)

(and watched Pacific Heights--DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE)

In my leisure time I love doing a lot of things:- Video gaming (big fan, only have too little time to play :( )- Music & Movie- Walking & playing with my dog (a one year old sweet but sometimes rebellious husky)- Hiking & traveling with my wife- Classical guitarLook forward to getting to know you guys in the forum!

I use the word game because it really is a game for this aristocratic class of active ultra high net worth commercial real estate investors who collect apartments like children collect Pokemon cards.

There's a scene in the movie Citizen Kane (based loosely on the life of William Randolph Hearst) where the super wealthy 20-something Kane sends his lawyers and financial advisors a telegram letting them know he's buying a newspaper.

@Mike D'Arrigo - good one I would definitely have your listing agent call up those 80 people that came through to follow up on what they thought of the listing to probe through and see why their buyer's motivations were so you can adjust accordingly.It may not be price related or it may be but you'll never know till you get the correct feedback.If your listing agent took note of the traffic that came through he/she should have a list of 70-100% of these crowds that came to your open house.When working with my realtors I usually use "openhome," application to take information from the crowds coming through the open house and incentivize them by offering a freebie like movie tickets and dinner or etc.Hope that helps!

And these guys wanted dough up front.Or the all time classic movie " Tin Men" I recommend this to any rehabber or investor who is getting into the bizz...

A good distraction like a movie or a book is what works best for me.

I am reminded of what Warren Oates said in the movie Stripes,....."

It is called Mall street because it goes pretty much right next to Mall, movies etc.
