Make Your Next Open House a Winner Many Real Estate professionals feel that open houses are too time-consuming. Frankly, they are time-consuming. But I can provide assistance as a mortgage professional on hand to field many questions for you regarding financing options.
As a follow-up, I can also provide pre-approval for prospects so they may shop as a cash buyer. Your seller will receive legitimate offers through this process, and I will be able to weed out any unqualified prospects. I have a sophisticated database management system for follow up, and I ask many questions about each prospect's long-term goals. This enables me to get a clear picture of what type of financing is best for them, and work with them as an advisor rather than someone who simply quotes rates and provides the debt. |

I've never taken a lender to an open house, but do take rate sheets provided by my lender of choice...........He also often helps host a brokers tour and provides some treats...........
I will usually provide a lunch as well as flyers that are co-branded providing financing information and more information on the home. I think having a lender at the open house helps to find buyers true interest levels better than just having a Realtor there. As a lender of course we have a different perspective and agenda, and ask questions that can be very telling as to whether lookers are serious or not. I also provide a 1-800 number for all of my referral partners to use on their listings. When the call comes in we both get the lead. It is amazing how many times I have had a referral partner tell me the lead was dead and I was able to revive it and turn it into a two sided transaction for a refferal partner.
