How to Have a 24 Hour Open House?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Virtual Florida Tours

Stephanie Andre does a fabulous work on how to stage your home for an open-house. She forgets that you will have to keep your house ready for a visitor on a daily basis. The realtor will place an automatic padlock that will allow people to visit your home while you are out. Sometimes you will like to remove all this aggravation by limiting the times that the realtor can show your home. This results in fewer chances for buyers to see your home and as a result less possibilities to sell your home.

From a realtor point of view this is also an inconvenience since you will have to check with your client when the house is available to be seen. This reduces your possibility of selling it. Also if the day is cloudy or it is raining it is almost impossible for your clients to picture your listing on its best lights.

How can you overcome these difficulties? Is it a way for the lawn to stay fresh and cut as it was just recently cut? Is there a way to make your client to agree to allow anyone to visit his property at any time without previous notice? How can his house be ready for a visit even when she is sleeping at night? Can the house look at its best even under a hurricane?

The solution for all this problems and to keep your clients happy at the same time is on the use of virtual tours.

Can you picture showing all your listings from the comfort and security of your office? Can you imagine how more listings you might obtain if you use this technique?

Very good point.  I think that is something that has to be discussed up front with the client.  I don't think it is 100% across the board, as I am not objectionable to staging and having the house appropriately ready to show, if it is not to much of an inconvenience, depending on children/grandchildren/pets, etc...
