Advertise your open house. Ideally you should advertise both the weekend before
and the weekend of the open house. Check with the local paper to see when their
ad closing deadlines are.
Create a property summary sheet. This sheet gives prospective buyers an overview
of your home. Include dimensions for each room, copies of a property survey,
summaries of utility costs and property taxes, and a list of when capital items
such as roofs and furnace were added.
Develop a sign-in form for prospects’ addresses. You’ll ideally want both phone
numbers and e-mail addresses to follow up with prospective buyers.
Put up signs. One or two days before the open house, place directional signs at
major intersections within three to four blocks of your house. Be sure you check
on anti-sign regulations in your area.
Get your house ready. Remove clutter, clean your house, wash your windows, add
flowers, turn on lights, open draperies and blinds, remove valuables and
breakables, confine pets, turn on soft music, and set up a table for your
property fact sheet near the entrance.
Develop a follow-up sheet. Getting feedback on your home from prospects who
attended your open house will give you a better understanding of how to make
your home more appealing to buyers.
