10 TIPS for MAKING AN OPEN HOUSE WORK

By Barbara Pronin With 92 percent of buyers using the Internet in their home search,* the value of open houses has been debated among today’s real estate professionals. It’s a full day’s work that includes marketing, preparing materials, placing and removing signs, and assessing the interest of neighbors, strangers, serious buyers, and lookie-loos with nothing else to do.

However, the benefits are clear - it does put your face and expertise in front of people you might not otherwise meet.

For savvy agents everywhere, the key to success is in orchestrating an open house that works. Here are ten tips that may help:

1.

PLAN AHEAD Listing on the MLS early in the week gives you time to plan a well-attended open house.

2.

INVEST A SUNDAY Absent a listing of your own to show, offer to host an open house for a colleague. It’s always a good a way to meet prospects.

3.

4.

SPREAD THE WORD Promote it as widely as possible, using all available real estate and social media sites. Email your contacts and area real estate offices.

INVITE THE NEIGHBORS They’re a great source of referrals. With a new listing, one top agent we know knocks on doors in surrounding streets, leaving as many as 2,500 open house notices.

5.

MAXIMIZE SIGNAGE Cover an area well beyond the immediate, placing a generous amount of open house signs in surrounding areas, including nearby new home construction sites.

6.

TAKE A BUDDY For safety’s sake and to help interact with guests, take another agent, a trainee or two.

7.

8.

KEEP SIGN-IN OPTIONAL Offer a sign-in book, but be sensitive to those who avoid it. Introduce yourself, and invite questions, but don’t hover.

RESPECT THE COMPETITION Try to ascertain whether guests are working with another agent. If they are, respect the relationship.

9.

KNOW THE INVENTORY Be prepared to discuss competing listings in the vicinity as well as recent sales and price statistics. Your sensitivity and local market knowledge are the surest way to win clients

10. STAY IN TOUCH Leads won’t pay off unless you pursue them. Check back with the neighbor who ‘might know someone,’ make all the callbacks you promised, and offer feedback and suggestions to the homeowner. *2015 NAR Profile of Buyers and Sellers

5 Ways to Protect Your Home This Winter

Brrr! It's cold in here. When winter weather starts frosting, you're not the only one reaching for a sweater. Your home needs to be protected from the chill too.

Joe Todaro, director of operations of Gold Medal Service, offers these tips for homeowners so they can prepare their home for a cold winter: 1. Protect your outdoor unit: Your outdoor air conditioning unit needs a little help staying healthy throughout the winter. You may want to consider a cover for your unit not unlike the cover you use for a grill or a car. Covers can keep snow, ice and heavy rain from potentially damaging the unit.

2. Patch leaks around doors and windows: Check windows and exterior doors for any gaps or openings that would let cold air in or warm air to escape. Leakage like that may not only cause you to have cold spots in your home, but make your heating system run longer than necessary – costing you money on your energy bills. Naturally, having your heater tuned up by a professional for peak performance is a proven way of saving on energy bills as well.

3. Reduce heat loss through the fireplace: If the home has a fireplace, it's a good idea to keep the damper closed when it is not in use to prevent heat loss. Close any doors leading into the room when a fire is burning. If you have a gas fireplace, be sure that it burns cleanly, evenly, and safely.

4. Use sunlight to your advantage: You can naturally heat your home by opening curtains and window coverings on south-facing windows during the day. Closing curtains at night will protect your home from losing heat through those same window openings.

5. Prep the plumbing: As winter approaches, you'll want to make sure you don't have any water freeze-ups – those can potentially become a big headache. To eliminate that risk, drain any water from outdoor faucets, and arrange to have any in-ground sprinkler systems blown out.

Drain and roll up garden hoses and store them inside, in a garage, shed, or basement, to shield them from the severest temperatures. If any pipes in the home have been prone to freezing in past winters, consider using heat tape to keep them warmer during extremely cold weather.
