Open house preparation

Before your first open house, you must eliminate any evidence that you live in your home. You fix-up, paint, upgrade, renew, and refurbish everything inside and out. To give your home both a neutral look and the illusion of space, you remove your favorite furnishings, nick nacks, cultural mementos, family photos, and most of your children’s toys.

Finally, you must clean, clean, clean until your home is unnaturally sanitized from top to bottom. You must remove any signs of your pets’ existence, especially those unpleasant odors you probably take for granted. Only then can you stage your living areas, take your listing photos, put your home on the market, and plan your first open house.

Open houses are no fun

An open house is ultimately a social occasion for potential buyers. You scent the air with a freshly-baked apple pie, serve light snacks, and open all the windows to let sunlight and fresh air in. Open houses can be fun for potential buyers in search of their dream home. Unfortunately, they’re no fun for you. In fact, after doing all your work, you aren’t even invited.

It’s considered inappropriate for you to spy on potential buyers as they wander through your home. To remove the temptation, you must leave before the first guests arrive. Your real estate agent hosts your open house while you hang out in a restaurant or a park or drive around in circles. But you can’t just walk away. Each time you schedule an open house, you must re-clean and re-stage everything. You must pack up your pets and take them with you.

Your home might not sell

Open houses are a staple of traditional real estate marketing. They allow serious buyers to get an unsupervised look at your home. That kind of access can help them reach a buying decision sooner rather than later. But again, there are no Sell Home Fast guarantees.

If you’re lucky, you’ll find a buyer early in the process and you won’t have to host more than a few open houses. If you’re not so lucky, your open houses will simply become a magnet for neighbors who need an excuse to get inside your home.

No more open houses!

If you dread the idea of opening up your home to strangers, we understand. We don’t need an open house to buy your home. Our home buying specialists keep the process simple. We make an offer. If you accept it, we complete the sale in as few as 7 days.
