Open Home

Open homes are one of the most effective ways to showcase your property and attract a large number of potential buyers in a short period of time. They create a competitive atmosphere because buyers can see how much interest the property is generating. A well-run open home includes professional presentation, clean styling, good lighting, clear signage and an agent who actively engages attendees rather than passively standing by. Strong agents collect buyer details, ask qualifying questions and follow up immediately afterward. Open homes also provide valuable insights into buyer feedback which helps refine pricing or marketing strategy if needed. Poorly executed open homes, on the other hand, can lead to missed opportunities, low engagement and reduced buyer confidence. When managed correctly, open homes can significantly shorten days on market and increase final sale price.

Practical Example

You prepare your home for its first Saturday open by decluttering, cleaning and adding simple styling touches recommended by your agent. On the day, your agent arrives early to set up directional signs, open blinds and adjust lighting to create a welcoming environment. Twenty groups attend the inspection, and your agent takes detailed notes on each buyer’s interest level and feedback. Later that afternoon, the agent calls all qualified buyers to gauge seriousness and encourage next steps. Two families request contracts and ask follow-up questions about settlement dates and inclusions. By Monday, one buyer submits a written offer, showing how an effective open home can quickly lead to strong buyer action.
