Many Realtors do an Open House by just showing up the day of the open house and planting a few open house signs. However, I try to be a lot more pro-active. I like letting my clients know what I am doing on their behalf to actively market and sell their homes, so here is what I did for an open house yesterday. Please review the list of marketing efforts and let me know if there is anyhing else you think I could be doing.
1) I entered the listing in the MLS as an open house:
2. It is advertised on Craigslist: http://boise.craigslist.org/reb/4830849844.html
3. I wrote a blog about it: http://activerain.com/blogsview/4569540/n-e--boise-hillside-single-level-view-home---open-house-1-3-14-230-5pm
4. I featured it on my website: http://www.idahomlstours.com/
5. I advertised it as an open house on www. Zillow.com
6. I advertised it on www.Trulia.com
7. I also advertised it on www.Realtor.com
Some times I put open house sign riders on the sign in front of the home so people passing buy it prior to the open house know about it early.
I think I will start printing this type of data prior to my next open house so instead of just asking the people how they found out, I can use a visual representation of my efforts and check off the ones that work.
