YOUR FIRST OPEN HOUSE IS ONLINE!
As a seller you might be thinking that you do not want any open houses for your property. Too much hassle, having to spend time out of your home, or having hoards of people coming through, especially neighbors, who have no intention of buying it. And you might feel that an open house is unlikely to bring you the right qualified buyer
Or you may be favor of open houses, since you see them all the time, have attended them yourself, and want to make sure your home gets as much exposure as possible.
Regardless of your sentiments about public open houses, the reality is that YOUR FIRST OPEN HOUSE IS ONLINE. And your home had better be “show ready” for all those buyers, and agents, who are going to be seeing it, perhaps minutes after it hits the MLS and a multitude of other websites.
The majority of buyers are looking online in their home search, on many different sites, probably in excess of 90%.
What this means for you is that the first time a buyer “sees” your home will be somewhere on the Internet. And they may not be able to see it unless they come with an agent if there are no public open houses.
That said, it is critical that your home be show ready, just as if you were expecting buyers to walk in the door. And the photos, and any videos, have to be top notch. Buyers can be kinda finicky, and if they don’t like how a home looks online, or there are very few photos to showcase how terrific it is, they may click right on past.
You know what everyone says - a good first impression is essential. And it's pretty tough to overcome a bad first impression.
