"Back on the Market - Buyers split up.  Beautiful"  is the description on a home that is on the Real Living HER Open House List today, July 25, 2010.  The title of this post woulda been, shoulda been Real Living HER Open House List Sunday 7/25/2010 but the drama  of "Back on the Market - Buyers split up. Beautiful" caught my eye...

Real Living HER Open House List   for Sunday July 25, 2010 brought to you by Maureen McCabe

The last time around... perhaps a month ago?  the "Back on the Market - Buyers split up.  Beautiful"  house was advertised and in contract before the open house.  Drama!

Right now the Real Living HER Open House List says: "There are 243 Open Houses available"  of course that is subect to change... houses sell before the open house, occasionally, even in 2010.  Homes go "Back on the Market."

The link above to the Real Living HER Open House List, you are being sent to my website (MaureenMcCabe.com) however the Real Living HER Open House List is on most Real Living HER (formerly HER REALTORS®)   agents sites.  The open house  list is NOT an archive.  The Real Living HER Open House List  will always show the current open houses.  It will show you who is hosting the open house and who the lisiting agent is, should you need that information!

Looking for homes for sale in Clintonville, Dublin, Gahanna, Grandview Heights, Hilliard, Lewis Center,  Powell, Westerville or Worthington?  The Real Living HER open house list is a great place to start.

To be fair there is more about the "Back on the Market - Buyers split up.  Beautiful"  house.   The Open House list also says "A must see! "   and the photos show why it went in contract so quick...It is a sought after Worthington location...

I have the lowest priced Worthington open house on the Real Living HER Open House List today, July 25, 2010...  1344 Snowmass Rd. Columbus OH. 43235 at $219,900.  Of course that is subject to change too.  Another Real Living HER agent could decide last minute to do an open house....  something new could go on the market.  A home could go "Back on the Market" for any number of reasons.

Next week?  Will there be anything interesting on the Real Living HER Open House List or will the title be the usual, boring  Real Living HER Open House List...  stay tuned.

The Real Living HER Open House List for July 11, 2010 says:

There are 254 Open Houses available   

There are 275 Open Houses available as of Friday morning.

"There are 319 Open Houses available"  Saturday morning...

This Sunday is Real Living HER's first, 'Second Sunday' Open House.

You are looking at the current Real Living HER Open House on my website, the number of Open Houses is subject to change. It could still go up before Sunday afternoon.

The link about is  the Real Living If you visit my Real Living HER website each home on the Real Living HER Open House List is "Presented By" ME.  I am not holding all the houses open this week or any week. The same open house list is on other Real Living HER agent's sites.  Each listing on the list of open houses tells you who the listing agent and office is, or whom is holding the property open if you need that information.

The Real Living Open House List is NOT archived.  If you look at this post in the future the link will go to the current Real Living HER Open House list on my website.

HER Real Living will be holding the second  'Second Sunday Open House' in August.  'Second Sunday Open House' will be held each month.

 HER Realtors  - Timeline

Real Living HER   2006 - "50 Years of Family, Innovation and Results"

The  Timeline for  HER Realtors - Real Living HER now actually starts out when the company was called 'Harley E. Rouda Co.'  in the 1950's. The little snippet here about the "first home photo gallery" is from 1963 according to the Timeline.

The Timeline for HER Realtors on the Real Living HER site (link above) is interactive.  The company timeline must have been produced for the 2006 50th anniversary of the Columbus real estate company. 

The timeline goes from the first office in the basement of Harley E. Rouda Senior's modest Upper Arlington home to 2006 Real Living HER and includes milestones such as

• The birth of the Harley E. Rouda Co.
• Home Photo Gallery established
  
• The printed 'Home Photo Gallery'
• The color  ' Home Photo Gallery'
• HER Education Institute established (foundation of today's Real Living University)
• Franchising introduced
  
• The Super House Auction
• Mortgage services introduced
• Herley the Bear was born
• HER hotline introduced 
  
• Title services introduced
• The first company intranet 
• The birth of the Real Living brand and move to downtown Columbus

There is a timeline on the wall in the Real Living  / Real Living HER office on Nationwide Blvd. in downtown Columbus too.  It is not interactive. 

The timeline shows when other Rouda family members joined the family owned company, then known as HER Realtors. 

The HER Realtors Timeline also shows the years Harley E. Rouda Sr.  was the president of the Columbus Board of REALTORS®, the Ohio Association of REALTORS® and the National Association of REALTORS®

Pretty neat!

There were 18 HER Realtors  Cookbooks published.  The 50th Anniversary Edition was published in 2004, that was the 18th HER Realtors.com cookbook. I believe the first HER Realtors cookbook was published during Gerald Ford's presidency, between 1974 and 1977.  Looks like the first HER Realtors Cookbook was published in 1975.  

1 copy per cookbook edition per family  while supplies last.  Limited to stock on hand.  I don't have all editions.  These are NOT used cookbooks...  you do not have to attend the open house, in fact we don't really want you traipsing through the house unless you are looking for a home!  Just stop by to pick up a few cookbooks.

The Real Living HER Open House List for May 23, 2010 is brought to you by Maureen McCabe.

There are 171 properties on the Real Living HER Open House List this week... of course that number is subject to change.  The number of open houses scheduled will probably go up before Sunday at one or two o'clock when open houses generally start.  Each open house on the list says what time it open.

The Real Living HER Open House List is not an archive.  If you look at it always has the current open houses, rather than history.  The list is in "real time."

There is a new Columbus Ohio real estate brokerage opening in 2010.

I had heard something...  about someone working for someone a few months back and perhaps I should have put two and two together.

As an agent with Real Living HER (formerly HER Realtors) before the first (and only newspaper article as of yet ) about George Smith leaving our company to form a new company with Patrick Grabill (Grabill sold King Thompson to NRT in 2000.)  We heard via email. Of course I can not say what that email said....

I tried calling two friends on Thursday who I thought would know more than me.  Both evaded phone calls... I would not have blogged about it... really

The scoop about the new brokerage  was in the paper or online Friday (I could not find it until Saturday) Columbus Business First has the story. What does the Columbus Business First have to say about it?
