Having an open house is an excellent way to market the home. You will definitely get a lot of curious neighbors coming into the home which is a great way to get the word spreading.
To prepare for the open house make sure the home is as clean as possilbe and free of clutter. Turn on a few lights and open the curtains to assure a bright feeling to the home. Would not be a bad idea to bring along a bottle of air freshener to give the home a nice smell.
The outside of the home is the first thing your potiental buyers will see. Make sure the lawn is cut and the bushes are trimmed and there is no clutter in the yard.
Park the cars along the curb if you can, free up the driveway.
Let the neighbors know, they will no doubt wonder why there may be a bunch of people coming and going from the home.
Have a sign up sheet ready at the front door. You want to get their name, address, phone number, email if possible and how they heard about the Open House.
You are going to run across buyers who may not be serious but just looking. Making a good impression without giving out too much of your valuable time will give you opportunity.They may call a friend who is looking for a home and recommend you. Have your business cards ready.
Your buyers will arrive with questions. Make notes of key places and the distance, like grocery stores, schools, malls, airports ahead of time.
Inside the home will bring questions as well, how old the air conditioner is or the roof, make sure you have an estimate time frame for this as well.
Give your buyers reasons for the homes potential . Maybe it has a bonus room that could be used as another bedroom or office. A garage turned into a game room.
Let them know that any large or construction improvements will need to be checked with the county or city permit office and they can answer questions too.
Other key tips are:
o Have the Open House on the Weekend
o Keep the Hours between Noon and 5PM
o Advertise the Open House with Flyers and Classified Ads
o Place signs along the main roads leading to the home
o Bring Drinks and Snacks for you and/or your Guests
