Holding a Real Estate Open House

When selling your property house sale by owner you will ultimately hold your own real estate open house.  Even if you are using the services of a realtor, knowing and understanding how to hold an open house maybe the icing on the cake so to speak, that gets your property sold.

Whether you are selling your personal residence or you are selling one of your real estate investing properties, I have written below 12 different points or ideas that you can use to help you set up and run your own open house. 

1. The best time to hold an Open House when selling by owner or not is on Saturday and Sunday 1:00pm-4:00pm

2. Use a guest list to acquire perspective buyers contact information of everyone who views your home.

3. Open all curtains or blinds and turn lights on.  Allow as much light into each room as possible.

4. Wherever possible in your home, play nice easy listening music.

5. Depending on the time of year a warm fireplace can be a welcoming touch.

6. OPEN HOUSE flags and signs will draw attention to the home and make it easy to find. Make sure you use sale by owner signs.

7. Run an ad in your local paper or in any free classified ads on the internet for your area.

8. A freshly painted home inside and outside not only looks cleaner but will add value to your home.  Buyers will want to see a neat and clean home inside and outside.

9. Make sure the garage is neat and clean and your vehicles are parked on the street if possible and not in the garage. Your garage will look larger if there are no vehicles inside.

10. Clean up your property outside, and put all toys and garden tools away also.

11. Water the grass in the front and rear of your home just prior to the start of your open house.

12. Not every one is a pet lover so try to keep them out of the way.
