Getting Traffic Through Open House
Hi BP Community!
I have done an open house. The home is priced decently and I am even advertising on social media. Its reaching tons of people, but there is no traffic! What are some strategies that I should implement to get people to come?
Thanks!

Hi, great job on the open house, lots of agents don't like doing those. Open houses , according to n a r sell 1% of homes . Open houses I believe are used for marketing yourself . To answer your question:
1. put out more signs, maybe about 20 .
2. You can also do them at different times for example Thursdays at 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
3. Do what @bobokenwa says and door knock neighbors.
4. In the front yard put multiple signs, maybe four, with some balloons, a table with a banner, stand out in front and invite passers-by inside.
What will mostly happen is the neighbors will see how hard you worked and want you to list their home and sell it that way as well. That is mainly the best way to work an open house. You should, next weekend, go to 10 open houses and see who does the best presentation and copy their technique and maybe improve on it.
