Make sure you get your next open house information on Zillow, it is free and easy to do.  The information will show up on the site a week before the event, and then automatically come down when it is over.  Here is a short video that walks you thru the process:

 

 

And it works!  Here is a quick story from a Realtor I met at the annual NAR convention last year.  She entered the open house info on Zillow, canceled the open house but forgot to take the info off Zillow. 12 people showed up, she got a buyer and actually double sided it. The mix up turned out to be a good thing!

And don't forget to supersize your profile, etc. so that open house prospects can find your contact info easily and learn a little (or a lot) about you beforehand!

I think Zillow is getting better and better...esp since we can update info on our properties and show improvements.  I will also sign up for the open house.

Sara,  I didn't realize I could post an open house.  I just held one last weekend.  I'll definitely look into it when I hold the next one!
