Post Open House Protocol

We send a follow up card and then call to be sure they received it and while they are in the open house ask if they would like to recieve other listings in this area or price range.

To get everyone to sign in, i tell them that the seller requires sign-in for insurance purposes (which is true). and if they do leave real information, we send a personal note (handwritten).

Consider using a sign-in card instead of a sign-in sheet. As specific contact questions including op-in permission.

1. Send a thank you post card,
   
2. Follow-up with a phone call or email,
   
3. Add to your "Just Listed" email listing for homes meeting similar specifications,
   
4. Add to your quarterly newsletter
5. Add to your listing alert program if the buyer opted
   

Carolyn,  I like the sign in card idea!  Do you have a bunch of 3 x 5 cards printed up?  Could you share what you print on them?

I'd guess: name, address, phones, email, "would you like to receive notice of new properties, check here"

Hope this helps. If you would like to receive a hard copy via email, let me know.

It's printed on a 5.5 x 4.25 (Post Card size) card with the following information:

Date ________ Property: ________________________

1. Name
2. Address
3. Telephone
4. Email
5. Are you working with an Agent? Yes ____ No ____
6. Have you been pre-qualified? ______________________
   
7. Type of home: ______________ Style: _______________
   
8. Price Range Min:__________ Max: __________
9. No. of BR: _____ No. of Baths: _____ Garage: _____
   
10. How did your hear about the open house? _____________
11. Would you like to receive our newsletter? Yes ___ No ___
12. Would you like to sign up for automatic listings matching your criteria? Yes ___ No ___

The card is printed on 11 x 8.5 card stock 110 lb paper, 2 cards per sheet. The bottom portion is used as a business card and property information card (preforated)

Call them all, find a reason, honest feedback for the seller, monthly newsletter, a great opportunity to ask for referrals.  If they are willing to give contact info add them to your sphere.
