OPEN HOUSES

You may ask, “Should I have open houses?” Hello, this is Chris, and open houses usually help me more than you. Because persons who attend open houses are buyers who give me customers, but don’t necessarily buy your home.

Despite what you think, whether to offer open houses is a tricky issue. Statistics show that open houses can be good for the seller, and they can be a waste of time and effort, and can even work against you. 

The appearance, condition, and location of your home and the number of homes for sale in your neighborhood help to  decide whether or not to hold an open house. You also should think about whether it is a “buyers market” or a “sellers market.”

The use of open houses has gone up and down over the years, and the success and failure rate has changed. Today 2 percent of homes sold are sold through open houses. I can give you expert advice on this matter. 

As Your Sellers Agent, I will carefully assess your situation, and advise you on whether or not to hold open houses. And don’t forget, you can’t miss with Chris, so call me today, OK.
