Do you have an open house plan? So you set a sign out front of the house 5 minutes before the open house and take it down one house later to rush off the the next open house, and you wonder why you never ass anyone at your open houses. I have been having a wonderful time here in Watertown WI with open houses since I started making a plan for them. The other week I had 19 groups come through two open houses over the course of 4 hours. Here is my plan so far. If you do anything for yours please let me know I would like to add it to my list.
