For as long as I can remember open houses have been a part of significant percentage of real estate agents marketing plans. Before the internet came to be holding an open house was a worthwhile exercise to give a sellers home additional exposure.
With the advent of the internet that all changed. Buyers are able to freely look at homes online in the comfort of their own house.
When they want to see a home they can easily reach a real estate agent to schedule an appointment. This is what all serious buyers do!
Open houses are no longer necessary and put a sellers home at risk of theft. Many real estate agents unfortunately do not educate their clients of this fact.
Open houses bring anyone through the door whether they are in the market to purchase a home or not. There is no point in a seller having people who are not qualified to purchase or belong in the home.
So why do real estate agents hold open houses? A pretty easy question to answer. They are great activities for an agent to prospect for business whether it is another seller in the neighborhood thinking of selling or a buyer who can't afford the open house but are a buyer none the less.
If you are selling a $400,000 home and the person walking through the door can only spend $300,000 it is pointless. They won't be buying the home.
For a real estate agent, however, this is a person who can buy a $300,000 home elsewhere!
For this reason real estate agents love to push open houses. The problem for the seller is they are magnets for crime. Lots of theft occurs in open houses every year.
If you are selling a home you don't need an open house. What you do need is an exceptional agent who will price your home correctly and market it well online.
Take a look at the article referenced above. It will be an eye opener on open houses. |
