Hosting an open house is a lot more than throwing a sign in the yard, unlocking the front door, printing a few property sheets and waiting for somebody to magically decide they want to buy the house.

You are the professional in the room.

Act like it.

You should know that house up and down, side to side. You should know the important upgrades, the age of major systems, the neighborhood, the school district, what makes the property different, what objections a buyer might have and how to intelligently answer questions when they come up.

And I’ll be the first one to admit, I’m still learning how to master open houses myself.

But after attending plenty of them and watching other agents around the Tulsa Metro, one thing has become extremely obvious to me.

I would confidently say the overwhelming majority of Realtors I see hosting open houses have almost zero presentation or sales process.

You walk in…

They introduce themselves…

They hand you a property flyer…

Maybe they tell you to “look around…”

Then they go sit at the kitchen island and wait…

That is INSANE to me.

Somehow we expect a complete stranger to walk into a $300,000, $500,000 or $800,000 house, look around for ten minutes, then basically hand us their wallet, grab a pen and say, “Where do I sign?”

That is not how selling works.

Selling is asking the right questions.

Why are you moving?

What brought you into this neighborhood?

Are you currently renting or do you own?

What are you hoping your next home gives you that your current situation doesn’t?

What have you seen so far that you liked?

What have you seen that you hated?

What matters most to you?

What would make you feel confident enough to actually make a move?

Selling is listening.

Selling is understanding motivation.

Selling is identifying problems.

Selling is helping somebody think through a decision.

Selling is building enough trust that the person standing in front of you starts viewing you as a resource instead of another salesperson.

Selling is NOT following somebody around the house begging them to write an offer.

It is NOT vomiting features at them.

It is NOT immediately asking whether they already have an agent.

And it sure as hell is not sitting on the couch scrolling through your phone while potential clients walk through the property.

Your job is to create a conversation.

Because even if that family does not buy the house you are holding open, they might still need an agent.

And even after doing everything correctly, there is still no guarantee you earn their business.

That is sales.

But if they leave that house with your card in their hand thinking, “That guy actually knew what he was talking about,” you did your job.

Now imagine they walk into the next open house and another agent barely acknowledges them, hands them a flyer and disappears back into the kitchen.

You just became the professional they remember.

That is positioning.

That is value.

And that is why I believe an open house should never just be treated as an event where you babysit somebody else’s listing for three hours.

It is an opportunity to practice your communication, sharpen your sales ability, learn how buyers think, build relationships and demonstrate what working with you actually feels like.

The house gets them through the door.

What you do once they walk through it is what determines whether they remember you.

If you haven’t subscribed to my YouTube channel yet, I’ll be going much deeper on topics like this in the future, including real estate strategy, buying, selling, negotiation and what actually happens behind the scenes in this business.

And if you’re looking to buy, sell, or simply want to know what your home could be worth in today’s market, you can reach me several ways below and whatever you decide, I’m in your corner. 🔑

Here’s a fun fact: President Franklin D. Roosevelt secretly came to Tulsa during World War II.

On April 19, 1943, FDR arrived by train for a surprise inspection of the massive Douglas Aircraft plant near Tulsa’s airport. Wartime security was so tight that most Tulsans had no idea the President was coming.

The plant was nearly a mile long and operated around the clock, producing and modifying military aircraft for America’s war effort. At its peak, roughly 38,000 Oklahomans worked there, and nearly half of the Douglas workforce was female. Tulsa had its own army of “Rosie the Riveters” helping build the aircraft used by American crews overseas.

Roosevelt toured the factory, inspected production and personally met some of the workers behind the operation. This was more than a presidential appearance. Tulsa had become a critical piece of America’s wartime aviation machine.

The same site would later help establish Tulsa as one of the country’s most important aviation and aerospace cities.

Most people know Tulsa for oil. Fewer realize we also helped build the aircraft that carried America through World War II.

That is a piece of Tulsa history worth remembering.

The reason people hate Realtors is because most of us have earned it.

That's the truth nobody in this business is willing to say out loud, so I'll say it.

Real estate is already one of the hardest careers a person can pick. The failure rate is brutal. Most agents don't make it past their second year. The ones who do survive are grinding harder than people realize just to keep the lights on. It's commission only. No safety net. No paid time off. You eat what you kill. And on top of all that, we're the one industry the public has decided doesn't deserve to get paid at all.

But here's the thing that pi**es me off. The public isn't entirely wrong. They've earned that opinion because we've handed it to them.

I got into this business for the love of it. To actually help people through the biggest financial move of their life and absolutely get paid for the work I put in. That was the whole point.
Provide real value, earn the check, sleep good at night.

I've spent the last month having real conversations with expired listing sellers, homeowners who got burned, and people in my own life who bought or sold with somebody else. Every one of them tells me a version of the same story. They hired an agent who talked a big game and then went quiet the second the work got hard. No real strategy from day one. No honest pricing conversation. No consulting. No communication for weeks at a time. No negotiation that actually fought for the client's money. No follow through when problems came up. And when the deal didn't work out, the agent had every excuse in the book except the honest one, which is that they didn't do the job they were hired to do.

Here’s the deal…

Your job is not the overly tight dress you wore to the open house. It's not the three piece suit you're posing for in the camera. It's not the 20 second reel you hired a marketing company to record with all those Netflix style fast swooping shots and filters slapped on it. That's not the job. That's cosplay.

The job is the 8pm phone call when your seller is losing their mind. The uncomfortable conversation about a price reduction when the market is telling you it's time. The negotiation that saves your buyer ten grand. The pushback on a lowball offer. The strategy conversation before the sign ever hits the yard. The problem solving when something falls sideways. The showing up when it's a pain to show up. The person to person work that doesn't get a single like on Instagram but is the actual reason we get paid.

Real estate is hard enough without half the industry sabotaging the reputation of the other half. Every client you ghost, every price conversation you avoid because it's uncomfortable, every negotiation you phone in makes it harder for the agents who actually give a damn to earn a living. You're not just letting your clients down. You're dragging the rest of us down with you.

The public says Realtors don't deserve the commission. And a hell of a lot of you? They're right. You don't. And deep down you already know it.

If you got into real estate thinking it was going to be like Selling Sunset, maybe this just isn't for you. And here's the deal. I'm not even full time in this business yet, and I still treat it like I am. You're going to have to do the same or find another career.

To every agent reading this, remember why you started. Do the work or quit. There's no “in between.”

And if you're in Tulsa, buying or selling, and you actually want somebody who's going work for you instead of just posting about you, reach out.

Homes listed on the MLS this way tend to sell faster and net more money than homes that stay off it entirely. Whether you want to sell your house yourself, list flat-fee on the MLS, or have the entire sale handled full service, the goal is always the same: putting the most money in your pocket at the closing table. I help home sellers across the Tulsa metro, including Broken Arrow, Owasso, Jenks, Bixby, and South Tulsa, sell smarter and net more.

🇺🇸 Happy Birthday America! 🇺🇸

Happy 250th Birthday, America.

I don’t take for granted what this flag represents. Freedom. Opportunity. The chance to build something from nothing. The ability to own a home, raise a family, start a business, and chase a life that’s truly yours. 🇺🇸

That’s one of the reasons I’m proud to help people buy and sell homes here in the Tulsa Metro. Homeownership is still one of the greatest ways to build stability and create generational wealth, and I’m grateful to play a small part in that journey. 🏡

I hope you and your family have an incredible Fourth of July. Stay safe, enjoy the fireworks, and never forget how blessed we are to call this country home.

If buying or selling a home is part of your next chapter, I’d be honored to help.
