What do you love about hosting an open house?

Anna: I always have great experiences because they leave the house happy with my giveaways like tote bags, pens, information and flyers about the house they are visiting and its neighborhood. I even had a neighbor gave me a fresh baked loaf of bread which I ate almost half of it by the time the open house was over. There were times I ended up selling the house I held open and sold the buyers house too!

It is the best way for the neighborhood to get to know the market since they can tour the house and compare that to theirs.

How do you attract people to your open house?

Anna: I have fun hosting open houses by making it look like a party with balloons, flags, drinks and cookies. I probably put out between 14 to 18 open house signs. Not only is it good for the agent hosting, it’s also great exposure for the office. I call all these my “signs of invite.”

I also met and made friends hosting open houses.
