Pat Pettit Holds Pumpkin Give-Away

When Pat Pettit welcomed fellow Coronado real estate agents to view her new listing on sth Street last Wednesday, she treated each of them to a Halloween pumpkin. Pettit, an associate with Coronado Island Realty, understands the importance of marketing property to her fellow agents during the Brokers Caravan. “Something different always gets attention,” explained Pettit, “and the more agents who attend

our brokers’ open houses, the better the exposure for the property, and the better the chances of having coop agents show the property to prospective buyers. I have had my pumpkin patch in previous years and it has always been a favorite among the other agents. Every year the attendance exceeds the previous years’ record.” Pettit’s primary goal is to get the house sold, and something as simple as a pumpkin give-away also helps agents to remember the listing when they have aqualified buyer for that price range. Pat can be reached at Coronado Island Realty (across the street from the Coronado Eagle office), 4350145.
