Open house best practices
A good open house builds momentum for private showings. Make it easy to visit and easy to remember.
Before the event
- Announce dates early and share clear parking info.
- Secure valuables and medication. Use a sign in.
- Set a friendly path through the home with doors open and lights on.
During
Welcome visitors, answer questions, and hand out a one page highlight sheet. Keep the focus on the home rather than sales talk.
After
- Follow up with all buyers who requested details.
- Ask your agent what comments repeated across visitors.
- Decide if any quick tweaks could improve the next week’s activity.
