Your checklist
Open house tips
Collect contact details, not just names. A sign-in sheet that asks whether visitors are working with an agent and when they plan to move makes follow-up far easier.
Make the entrance easy to find. Directional signs at the nearest busy corners and a welcome sign at the door bring in drive-by traffic.
Follow up within 24 hours. A short thank-you plus two or three similar listings keeps the conversation going while the visit is fresh.
Report back to the seller. Share how many people came, what they liked and what they didn't. Sellers remember agents who keep them informed.
Open house questions
What should I bring to an open house?
A sign-in sheet or tablet, property flyers, directional signs, business cards, a welcome sign, pens, water or snacks, shoe covers if the seller wants them, and a phone charger.
How do I follow up after an open house?
Send a thank-you to every visitor within 24 hours, share comparable listings with anyone who seemed interested, and send the seller a short summary of turnout and feedback.
