Haven't participated in these for many, many years!

I attend occasionally if I have time and there are properties I want to see, or to preview for clients. Good luck

Sometimes. Different towns in my area do them differently. If it's a true "caravan" when all go together, it seems only the ones presenting the homes show up. 

Used too. Now, I just follow my business plan

Hasn't been done in my market for many many years now.  We stopped because they were poorly attended.

No. I do not. I wish you all the best with your new listing. 

Our Brokers Tours used to be a fun, effective experience for (esp. new) agents. 2 things happened: market picked up so dramatically that homes sold before they could be toured. After it slowed, our association changed the format. Previously, you stayed with the tour, stopped at each home in order, start to finish. They changed it to a list of open houses that agents could tour or not, and agents paid a dollar to pitch their listing. It didn't work, and faded away. Moral of the story: don't let your Association fix what's not broken.

Our area stopped these years and years ago... no one attended.

We haven't done these about 15 years. They ended up being only the agents that had a listing on tour.

At least for my own office's listings.

My broker offers caravans almost every week on sales meeting day. I attend when I can and am motivated that way. 

ORange County still has them- different city area different days. Laguna Niguel and Aliso on Thursday Rancho Santa Margarita and Coto Friday - they have meetings . Newport has a caravan but no meeting. Laguna on Wednesday  - I find Laguna the most useful as they have a speaker with local topics. It can be an efficient way to have many buyer's agents take a look, and some bring clients around noon. Food is usually the draw

They are still done in our area... Central Washington State.

yes. lots of visitors. No offer.

Yes Hella, it is a great way to get to know the local listings.

Yes our office goes out every Tuesday but we call it property tour.

On occasion if there are properties I wish to preview.

I dont like them, but we have them.

Some try to do broker opens or caravans but most are so busy, there is no time.

Not in many years! 

Yes, but our caravans are different now. We get a list of the properties and times they are open and you can pick and choose which ones you want to visit and not in any order.  This gives us the option, if there is a long list, to pick the ones we want/need to see. 

Hella -- as I answered in your post:

We have broker tours that are sometimes called caravans but we don't "caravan" as a group to the homes.  

Good morning Hella. Locally, I seldom hear about a caravan to view listings.

Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® - yes, we still have the broker tour in our area....

Yes I do!

we still have them in my market, I don't participate.  I do preview.

Only on very special listings.  Doing one tomorrow.  First one in about a year.

Only if I have a listing or a client for that area ( specific criteria). I work in many areas, it is just impossible to check all new inventory.

Hi Hella we just go out when we have a specific buyer looking for a specific property

In Branson we have agent open houses.  We bribe agents to show up by offering lunch and a gift card drawing.  I prefer caravans.

Yes, very popular in Erie with several companies.  Even more popular when food is included

No. Good luck with your new listing Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® 

No

Our company doesn't do them any longer and hasn't for about 15 years.  I would like my listings to be on Caravan but would never attend one.  I feel that showing homes is the best way to learn the inventory, neighborhoods and community.

Very rarely. The information is so easy to access, so the only reason I see is to visit with other agents if not too busy with clients.

No, praise the lord we've stopped doing them.

Best to you and your listing, Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® 

   I dreaded the mandatory caravan when I was with Coldwell Banker and C21.  We had to see every office listing, even those that were outside of our marketing area or price range.  The Caravan was after the Sales Meeting; it shot up an entire day.

   Our Board still offers caravans, but I don't participate.  As a Buyer's Broker, I find that doing my own property previews is more efficient.  As a Listing Agent, there are other ways that I can target the appropriate Agents.

Yes we have them and I try to get out to see as much inventory as possible.  We break up the city into 3 separate days because there is usually alot on caravan.  Its both a time to preview a property and bring a buyer through but these are generally open to the public as well.  Many times the property will sell during that caravan day.  We also have any properties that never have public open houses.

Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® I don't think it's done much any more.

Caravans still exist in select areas of my trading area.

No.

We just have broker opens where usually no broker sits.  In Winona MN, a city just to the north of us, has caravans as they have no formal broker open processes.

They seen rare around here these days.

no, i can't justify being trapped for half a day just to have a few agents preview our listings. It just looks good to the seller. As long as your seller realizes all agents  with a willing buyer can find it, there really isn't a value to drag a few agents  through who are only there so there listing will be shown also.

we always did them....but now the market is so strong here, we start showings at the open house event.... gone that day!!!

Office preview via projector or having a broker open works best for me.

Most will do in their office.
