Do open houses work?

Of course they do silly! Why would so many new agents do them if they did not work!? Do you see my humor? What are your thoughts on this subject? What are the effective agents doing, that the rest are not? Is there a certain price point that you find more open to getting more business out of opens?

I find more from my first time home-buyer range.  I also like to invite the neighbors to come.

Ty, It's probably market specific but I can tell you all the way down here in Naples, open houses do work.  Not that we're excited about it...well wait a minute, we're all excited when something sells down here right now but all teasin aside, they work and work really well.  I've sold several high end properties because of open houses but truth be known, I don't hide behind a newspaper when someone walks in either nor do we paint our finger nails, hit on open house attendees and drink champaign as that lady was doing on "Million Dollar Listing",  UGH!!!  Probably not what you wanted to hear...sorry.

Ty, this subject seems to attract great interest on Active Rain.  I don't do open houses and I don't plan on ever doing them.
