Open houses look great… but do they actually sell homes?
Most serious buyers are already working with an agent and scheduling private showings. Open houses can still be useful:
✔️ Extra exposure
✔️ Neighborhood traffic
✔️ Creates a little buzz
But they’re not my go-to strategy when it comes to getting a home sold. I focus on targeted marketing and getting the right buyers through the door, not just more people.
That said, if a seller wants one and it makes sense, I’ll absolutely host it (and yes, we’ll make it elevated and inviting 😉).
Because it’s not about doing what’s typical. It’s about doing what works.
