The Purposeful Open House
Most agents treat an open house like a lottery ticket. Top agents treat it like a system that produces buyers whether or not this house sells.
The Play
- Post to the MLS a week early so it syndicates to Zillow and Redfin.
- Door-knock 25 homes left, 25 right, 25 across. Invite every neighbor personally.
- 20–25 signs, pulled in from the main streets — not just the immediate block — plus lawn flags.
- Weekends, 1–4 PM. Historically the best window.
- Know your inventory. Come with B and C properties above and below the price, previewed in advance.
- Work the room: ask questions, build rapport, get name/phone/email, set a showing appointment.
After
- Into the CRM, tagged "open house," on the video drip, and checked in within 24 hours.
The open house was never about selling this house — only about 3% sell to a buyer at the open (NAR). It's a lead-capture event disguised as a showing. Run it for the leads, not the offer, and it stops disappointing you.
Do This Week
Pick your next open house. Door-knock 25/25/25, put out 20+ signs, and walk in with B and C backup properties. Goal: leave with 3 captured leads and appointments booked.
Six signs and a flyer is hope. The system is production.
