Selling via Open House Open houses are a long standing tradition in real estate; however they are often mistakenly disregarded as a waste of time. Why bother if you can just put it on the internet and attract viewers that way? The internet can of course help market your property. Countless pictures and even walkthrough videos give buyers an increasingly sophisticated insight into properties in the luxury of their own home. However, half the battle of selling a house can be getting people to visit in the first place. Inviting the public to open house events can allow prospective buyers to learn more about potential homes and their neighbourhoods. They have a chance to tour each room and envisage what they could do with it and how their furniture would fit. It also gives them the opportunity to inquire about specific conditions, any questions about the local area, and any other information about the home during their visit. This experience is invaluable and not attainable from the confines of your sofa! Open house events generally last one day or even an afternoon, ensuring that effort can be focussed into making the property look its best. A thorough cleaning and potted plants make the property more attractive and welcoming to prospective buyers. Advertising the event is key and word of mouth and social media buzz can boost awareness and attendance of the viewing. Daniels Estate Agents average around twenty people per open house viewing, demonstrating that ghost town open houses are not an issue in Brent! The average offer is around £10,000 over asking price, and an open house can result in a quick sale. Inviting neighbours and locals can be invaluable as not only may they be interested in your property but also provide an excellent representative of the area for those at the viewing who are not as familiar. Another way to utilise open house events to their maximum potential is by ensuring you receive feedback about the house and the event from your attendees. Leaving feedback cards or forms around the property can be useful in pointing you in the right direction on improving the property or any future open houses you may hold if you are not initially successful. Although open house events are arguably quite a traditional approach to selling a property, it can be highly effective and sometimes the old methods are still the best. By opening your home for viewing to the public, you may encourage certain people to look round who may not have done so otherwise. With Brent properties increasing in value, there is seemingly no time like the present to sell!
