How Can We Help?

We host your Open House events with our Full Service and Luxury Home Listing Services

Your best source of guests are those looking for homes in the internet. Send us an email with your date and times or complete this form – Schedule an Open House in advance of the time and day for the open house. We will set it up and advertise on MLS, Realtor.com, Zillow, broker websites, etc.  

Open house times are usually held Saturday or Sunday in the early afternoon. 1-3 or 12-2 or 2-4 or something like that are the common times. It helps if other open houses are going on in the same area at the same time. Get the house clean and put your best foot forward. Have flyers ready for handouts.

Best to go pick up some open house signs. Get at least one and put it out in your yard at the time of the open house.

You can get signs at Home Depot, Lowes, Amazon.com, or your local MLS store.

When you hold your open house make sure you have flyers to give out. The link for your flyer was sent to you with social media listings. You might have a sign in book if you wish to follow-up with everyone. Some of your traffic will come from the yard sign. Neighbors are a source of leads.

Put your best foot forward for curb appeal for both the open house and any prospects. Cut the grass, and consider washing front of house with hose or power washer. It might be too costly to repaint but you can get matching exterior paint at HD or Sherwin Williams and touch up any bad spots. If you want, put some balloons out on your sign during the open house to catch people’s attention. Some seller’s put out a United States and Texas Flag to dress up the front. Also new bedding and flowers are eye-catching and pretty. And, fertilize and water your lawn to get it green.

Last but not least important, there have been some theft reports of listed homes. It is important to be mindful of protecting valuables and any documentation that could lead to identity theft. If you have a vault or a fire safe box, keep all important documents as well as valuables in it. If prescription drugs are in the house, keep them away from plain sight. When holding an open house you can have buyers sign-in, write down car descriptions, license numbers and physical descriptions of prospective buyers as they arrive.

Keep in mind the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act), as amended, prohibits discrimination in the sale of dwellings based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (including children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under the age of 18), and handicap (disability).
