There’s nothing quite like the invitation to touch and feel the real deal to get buyers to beat a path to your door.  This method of exposing your home to potential buyers is vital.  An open house is a great way to get feedback on your home and validate the price.  It also exposes buyers that are not currently working with an agent and may not be aware of your home’s availability. 

 

An open house let’s interested buyers know that they have competition and need to get their offer on the table a.s.a.p.  It can also grab impulse buyers.  These are people who take one look and fall in love.  Marketing conditions can also make the open house really cool to most buyers. 

 

Sunday afternoons are the best time to attract visitors to your open house.  Plan to start early and stay late.  Saturday is another good day.  Make sure you mail post cards to invite neighbors and friends and other prospects.  You will also want to list your open house in the local paper or on websites with free classifieds.  A Realtor is your best option.  They handle all your advertising for you so all you have to do is prepare the home.
