If you're placing your home on the market, putting together an open house may assist in moving it quicker. This can generate the necessary visibility when you place your home on the market. This is a buyers market so an open house may attract a lot of attention. When folks are dropping by at all times and days of the week it can be stressful, but hang in there and keep it tidy. Prospective buyers want to see it clean.
When you advertise your open house, you can guarantee people will be stopping by. You should accommodate them by setting specific hours your house is available for viewing. I also recommend offering refreshments to your visitors. They will welcome the hospitality.
Open houses are typically organized by your real estate agent because they usually have a few to orchestrate at once. However, you can hold your own open house if your home is "for sale by owner" or maybe your simply assisting your agent to increase the likelihood for a faster sale. Either way you can facilitate or assist with the advertising to ensure a hefty turnout.
There are numerous low cost options for promoting your open house. Small classified ads and flyers are excellent for advertising. Be sure to include details that will interest potential buyers. If the prospect is viewing multiple homes in one day you want to make sure they have key points in mind that initially generated the interest.
Make yourself or your agent available during all open house hours. Your potential buyers have questions and you need to be present to answer them. The buyer may simply need a nudge with info to make an offer. You're not just selling, they're buying.
An open house may also entice people to make a quicker offer. They're viewing the home with other buyers and their reactions may be the ticket to get an offer on the table. A buyer may like the house you're selling, but if they suspect someone is going to buy it they may decide they must have it.
Planning an effective open house doesn't have to be stressful. Planning in advance will help you put together an event that will fill your home with buyers and they will have a pleasant experience viewing your home. The small financial investment you make for advertising and refreshments will easily pay for your time and trouble.

We typically all want what we can't have and placing multiple buyers in one room to discuss the things they like about your home is usually a win-win situation for you - the seller.
