Open House RESULTS
We still believe in open houses because they WORK! To attract potential buyers to open house events, we advertise on Facebook, MLS, our website AND Zillow.com and Realtor.com. We distribute flyers inviting neighbors as well.Recently, Agent Hailey Lovelace had MULTIPLE offers and a resulting contract from her open house in Irmo!
Every month or so, we cancel a scheduled open house because the home has a contract before we can get to the open house. It’s a great problem to have!
