Lots of agents have great ideas to share about hosting a successful open house. You hear about rules like how many directional signs to put out (4), how many balloons to attach to each sign (3), and the list goes on.
But if you're in the South and the weather is 100 degrees the # 1 thing on your checklist had better be air conditioning. Do your homework. Visit the house BEFORE you volunteer to hold it open.
And Heaven help you if it is new construction (new construction is not just hot but offers hazards to your power suit and pumps --- things like Sheetrock dust and wet paint).
Even if the house is cool, if they moved and took every last stick of furniture, don't forget to pack your folding chair. You can only pace for so long!
Another thing for your list: I really think you should consider paper. Not typing paper or note paper. Toilet paper. You're going to be there at least two hours. If the house is vacant chances are the movers emptied every t.p. roll in the house and carted them all away.
This is not something you want to see:
