My Black Friday Open House

By Todd Clark (Broker/Sales Coach) 503-524-9494

black friday sale It was 6am, I had put the signs out that said “Open House – Black Friday One Day Sales Price” just to see what would happen and to my surprise, I had a lot of people stop off and I got a lot of names of potential buyers out there looking for a deal!

The black Friday open house ended at 12pm and by 3pm today I had eleven prequalified buyers! Yes, I had a mortgage broker on speed dial that helped my come up with the idea. I think I’m going to have a new traditional ever Friday following thanksgiving.

Seems people are always looking for a deal even if not in a mall! My seller was even game and offered $10,000 off for this one day only. Hopefully we will get that property sold also, but the leads today were wonderful!

Todd, I'll bet it was easier to park at your Open House than at the local mall!

Hey, 11 good qualified leads in one day is a great success story. Thanks for sharing the idea and news of your success.

What a great idea! If I'm in town next year, I may have to give it a try, too. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love creativity and thinking outside the box. Nice work!

That is thinking outside the box. I love it!

Great story Todd.

Great idea sometime a wonderful idea is right in front of us. Good luck.

Todd I just thought about this yesterday and I think this kind of thing would get a lot of publicity in the local media. Too bad I thought of it a little too late + Brian would have to do the open house I'm sleeping at that time ! LOL. ~Rita

Hi Todd..Great Idea, I'm sure your Open House will result in some home sales.

Terrific Idea Todd! Hope those leads turn into good clients for you. So many have given up on open houses in our area. I love them!

Todd - It would never have crossed my mind to do an Open House on Black Friday. Congrats on the success!

Todd, great idea, I can see how that would really generate some great mojo.

Todd, what a resourceful man you are! This is a fabulous idea no matter what happens. Be sure to update us if anything comes of it. ;-)

Well talk about creative marketing! What an idea. Hope you keep us posted on the final outcome and if the property sells! Great idea!

Todd, what a great idea! Good luck with those 11 qualified leads, and I am sure your seller was pleased with the effort.

Hi Todd... Now THIS is outside of the box thinking at its best! Great idea and I'm glad it worked so well for you!

This is a great idea - I'm going to my Outlook to put in a reminder for next year :) And I bet the right location could EXPLODE with traffic.

Excellent ideal.

Will add it to our Open House repertoire. We do a Broker/Realtor® Open, a Saturday "Sneak Peek", a Sunday Open, and an occassional, weekday Twilight Open.

Exposure to the Market gets properties SOLD!

Todd - That's using your noodle! Great idea! Next year a Black Friday home tour? Load em on a bus and take them around to all your listings.

Todd -

I'm feeling a little backward about now.....Last night I made some flip comment on someone's post that was about Black Friday. I wondered out loud how an open house would work early on Black Friday. I was joking.

11 qualified leads!?. That's no joke. Except maybe on me.

Clever, clever, clever, Todd! Your seller must have been thrilled as well.

What a great idea Todd. You're always coming up with very innovative ideas. I like your style.

That's awesome Todd. Other than putting signs out and getting seller to adjust price for this one day event, what other advertising did you do?

Pure genius.

Todd, great idea. It takes doing unusually things like this to make yourself different. That's what it takes in this business!

You Rock Todd! Did you have special signs made up before the day? Way to go! Hope everything is going well for you! Blessings! Jill

This is certainly one I will do again and again! The only thing I did to advertise was put out a normal open house sign with a piece of paper above it that read "Black Friday Open House"
