Free Open House Advertising

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!

Thanks for sharing this -- I'll try it for my next couple of open houses.

Thank you Sara! I'll certainly try it next time.

Note to self, "Remember to make it OPEN on Zillow."

I found this out the other day and am doing it now. Free is right in the budget.

Great tip. I just signed up on Zillow and haven't tried this yet.

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!

Wow, thats great. Anything to make life more streamlined is fine by me.

Great info...this is the type of stuff i'm looking for!

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.

I also just joined your recent visitors. It was interesting to see another new way to connect with people.

very helpful Thanks..popelynne

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!

I'm looking forward to trying this on a new listing that starts Friday with an open house on Sunday. Thanks for the suggestion

Wow Sara. Thanks for the information. I think that I will have to try this service.

Free advertising? that's definitely right up my alley. Thanks Sara :)

Finally, something real good from Zillow.
