Your Best Open House When Selling Your Chino Hills Home Is The Internet

Wondering how this could be the case? The evidence is all available in black and white. The 2011 National Association of Realtors Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers shows that 40% of home buyers and sellers first learned about the home they purchased via the Internet. The only thing that was even close to the Internet in the method that buyers learned about the home they purchased is their real estate agent. 35% of buyers found their home due to their real estate agent.

Let me assure you, that even when those 35% of buyers who found their homes due to their agents had the help of the Internet most likely. why? Because most real estate agents utilize their local Multiple Listing Service (MLS), this means that those agents have seen your Chino Hills home for sell on the Internet. To find their home, 88% of buyers reported that they used the Internet and 87% said they used a real estate agent. While buyers did still report using open houses to find their home, only 45% reported utilizing this method comparatively.

The days of a traditional brick and mortar open houses is quickly fading. This is due to such advances like video tours, You Tube videos, blogs, etc. With a multitude of mediums for showcasing a home on the Internet, all it takes is a little techno know how and your real estate agent can hold an online open house for you 24 hours, 7 days a week. So which would you rather have? Would you rather have an open house once or an open house every day, any hour of the day at a buyers convenience?

For years statistics have shoun that the number one tool for selling a home in a Sign on the Property.  I wonder if new studies will show that the internet has surpassed the lawn sign.

Hi Keisha, interesting thought.  Our KW office is starting the 7 level course for doing open houses this week.  It was the big topic at Mega Agent Camp.  Thanks for sharing.
