By Levin offers ideas to make open houses more effective
Looking for ideas on how to make open houses more effective?
Rich Levin, a national real estate speaker and sales coach, provides some in this month’s issue of REALTOR Magazine.
One tip: Make sure you tell customers everything you need to say during the open house, rather than plan on calling them afterward.
“You’re much more likely to make a stronger impression face-to-face than during a phone call at a later time,” Levin writes.
Of course, if you don’t have time to talk to everyone who walks through the house, you may want to call those people who may need additional information, Levin says.
Another rule: Lock the doors during an open house. Besides serving as a safety precaution, this ensures that you greet everyone who walks in the door. When you welcome visitors, Levin says, thank them for coming and hand them information about the property you are showing. Get their contact information and explain that more information is available somewhere else in the house, such as the dining room table.
Levin also suggests being selective about your open houses.
“Typically, open houses that garner the most traffic are newer listings, reasonably priced and easy to access from main roads,” he wrote.
