Category Archives: Open Houses

It’s  smart to expose your home to the largest number of buyers, and getting buyers inside to preview a home is a huge hurdle to jump. What’s wrong with telling everyone that your house is “for sale”.

The internet already gives the buyer an idea of the overall interior and exterior look of a home, but customers still want to experience the house.

A side benefit for an agent to hold open a listing is the real estate agent might receive buyer leads just from being in the right place at the right time.

What does it take to hold an open house?

1) A presentable and  spotless home, priced correctly and located in a high traffic area

2) Advertise online

3) Map your open house signs

 - Attach strings of balloons to each open house sign.

 - Find the busiest intersection closest to your home and put an open house sign at that corner.  

4) Turn on every light in the house

5) Turn on soft music on each floor to help set a mood

 6) Have available four-color flyers filled with quality photos 

  7) Serve refreshments and snacks
