How to Host an Open House that Will Knock Your Buyer's Socks Off

In the highly competitive world of real estate, it can be tough to stand out from the crowd. But, what if we told you that there's a simple and effective way to attract potential buyers and make your property the talk of the town? Well, that's precisely what Danielle Welker from RE/MAX Advantage did in this episode of the Freedom Chaser Six-Figure Strategies Podcast.
Danielle believes that in today's fast-paced market, it's essential to bring it back to the basics, and being personable is key. To achieve this, she and her team make their open houses more of an event and invite the neighborhood. They don't just list the property; they create an experience that potential buyers won't soon forget.

So, how do they do it? They start by using Espresso Agent to prospect for phone numbers and email addresses of properties nearby. They then send personal invitations to people living in the area, letting them know about the upcoming event and encouraging them to attend. They also make sure to create a buzz by promoting the open house on social media platforms and collaborating with other local businesses to create a community event.

But, that's not all. Danielle and her team take things a step further by making the open house an experience. They offer refreshments, giveaways, and even hire live music to create a festive atmosphere. They also provide information about the neighborhood, including local schools, parks, and other amenities.

Another essential aspect of their marketing strategy is follow-up. They make sure to follow-up with everyone who attended the open house and even send personalized letters to people living close to the property. This personalized approach helps build a connection and trust with potential buyers.

Danielle also shares her story of starting a career in real estate during the 2008 financial crisis. She quit her full-time job with benefits to become a realtor, and after making some money, she faced difficulties when the market crashed. She did odd jobs to make money, but she never quit and kept learning. She explains that she was attracted to real estate because of the potential to earn as much as she wanted and the ability to determine her income.
