Why I Said No to an Open House Last Week and Yes to One on Halloween
The best open houses don't start on Sunday.
They start a week before.
Before COVID, agents reached out every weekend asking my team to hold their listings open.
Late last week, a request came in.
I said thank you, but no.
Not because we didn't want it.
Because there wasn't enough time to do it right.
This week, another request came in.
That one's a yes, even though it's Halloween weekend.
Here's the system behind the difference.
**1. Market for a full week.**
Our marketing system takes a week to reach the buyer who fits that specific listing.
Skip it, and you're hoping the right person drives by.
**2. Make guests feel taken care of.**
Every visitor gets an open house survival kit.
Small touches make a home memorable.
**3. Help buyers remember the home.**
After a few tours, properties blur together.
Our comparison sheet keeps your listing clear in their mind.
**4. Set the mood.**
Music plays in the background so visitors relax.
We're not listening in on their conversations.
**5. Let the home do the talking.**
No hovering. No pressure.
Buyers experience the space on their own terms.
The goal is simple.
Find the buyer.
Sellers, this matters because it puts more of the right eyes on your property.
Listing agents, it means your open house is handled with a proven system.
