To Do or Not Do ..... An Open House

Are Open Houses Still Worth It?

In this day in age, with all the technology we have, talking houses, internet. Are Open Houses still Worth it? In a Seller driven market when houses are being sold in a week to month, Open Houses are just something for the Seller to "see" their realtor working. In a Buyer driven market Open Houses can drive a buyer to your house while they are out looking at other homes. A lot of times I'll be driving with a client and they want to just "check it out" Many times if the price is just a little above their looking zone, but still in the approval zone I have seen offers being sent on those properties. For Agents Open Houses are a great way to get new clients. Most people coming through Open Houses do not have a client, but are interested in finding a house. An agent can help those families find a house without any money out of their pocket. It will save a buyer a ton of time, plus there is no reason to try and go through the biggest purchase of your life without a qualified agent by your side.
