Successful Open House- Home is under agreement

By
Real Estate Agent with Safe Harbor Realty Serving SouthCoast MA&RI

 Last Sunday I had an Open House & I had 11 buyers view the home. The home did go under agreement & I have some good buyer leads. I also established myself in a great neighborhood.  Good thing I was ready for them. I had my assistant & a loan officer and we were busy the entire time. Here is what I did to get such a great response.

 Put up Open house signs the Monday before the Open House with day & time for neighbors to see

Alerted Agents & flagged it in the MLS

Advertised in local newspaper

Blogged on Active Rain Put in Craigslist & Zillow

Sent postcards to neighbors with a photo of the home ( this was the nicest home in the neighborhood) This gave me my best response & the buyer is a neighbor wanting to trade up. I always have buyers sign in & on the sheet I ask how they found out about the open house.  

Put out lots of arrow signs & balloons the day of.

Do you have any different ideas that give you a good response at an Open House?

 Janice- These sellers are great! Upon my advice they first had a yard sale. Then they de-cluttered the house. They had painters paint the interior & exterior. I have my CHMS certificate so I helped them stage the home. It works! Thanks all for the positive comments.

Joe & Vickie- without the photo of the home on the postcards, I do not think it would have been so successful
