BS1.24 - Host an Open House (2022) {{ currentPage ? currentPage.title : "" }}

Intended Result

Buyer Specialists get leads and impress Sellers by hosting “Mega Open Houses.” This is separate from marketing an open house, which is done by Nick and Steph.

Summary

Open houses can be a chore or they can be productive. Preparation and follow-up maximize the chance of them being a worthwhile activity. Prospect by Brian Icenhower pp. 159-207 has a great framework. Combine this with the idea of hosting a “Mega Open House” as championed by coaches like Tom Ferry.

- Check that windows are closed and locked (in case someone has opened them with the intent of returning to rob the home).
