Holding an Open House

Kathy Aitken at Stewart Title is a fantastic marketer, and recently dropped-off some helpful information to our company about holding an open house that I wanted to share with you. My hope is that some of these tips can help give your home the advantage in a competitive marketplace.

• Sundays from 1-4pm seem to be the most effective
• Repainting the outside or inside is one of the least expensive and best ways to make your home look fresh again
• Open those blinds to let natural light in
• Move cars out of garage for space
• Remember the importance of scent
• Make sure entrance is clean and inviting
• Make sure family and children are out of the house
• Take pets outdoors or away while house is being shown
• Use a guest register, placed near the front entrance
• Never allow people to walk through unsupervised
• Be sure that you know the location of your keys at all times
• Have a flyer printed with important facts
• Be sure to follow up with prospective buyers the next day
