Chattanooga Real Estate Market Update 2024 – Yes I love hosting Open Houses and have found them to be a great way to sell homes — particularly in a competitive market.
Despite what you may hear, Open Houses are an important part of the Home Sales Process. In fact, I’ve sold MANY homes during Open Houses.
Really? You say.
Yes, really.
BUT there is a strategic way Open Houses need to be hosted and scheduled to get the absolute biggest bang for your Open House buck. And, if you have a Listing Agent who resists Open Houses, doesn’t see their value and/or assigns a more junior person to attend the Open House (looking for Buyer Clients) you’ve lost sight of its role.
The reason I love Open Houses is that I’m the Listing Agent! I KNOW the home. I have the opportunity to speak to potential Buyers directly and speak to the benefits and features of a particular property.
Dare I say it? I actually get to SELL homes to the potential Buyers (my job). This is also why I LOVE to show homes in person versus using a lockbox. My role as a Listing Agent is not only aggressively Market your home but to SELL it. And I can do that most effectively when I’m speaking to the Buyer directly.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again. We sell lifestyles. We don’t sell property. And the only way we can truly convey this is in person. And if a Buyer has questions, you’re right there answering any and all questions right on the spot.
So yes, I love hosting Open Houses for this reason. But that’s not all. I market the Open Houses as well so I get the biggest turnout possible.
So yes. I love Open Houses and I’ve sold many homes through them.
Thinking of Selling? I would love to meet with you to discuss my Top Tier Expert Approach to Marketing and Selling Your Home.
