I am hosting my first open house and I want to be able to impress my potential clients.

What suggestions would you give?

How can I prepare for questions a potential buyer might ask?

All suggestions are welcome!

Thank you in advance. 😊

There is a lot of valuable information in this thread. I’d also like to add joining a team. Not just any team but a top producers team where you can receive extra mentoring and learn what they did to create success and implement it yourself. You also can use their systems that have come from trial and error. I joined our areas top producing team when I got started and I had access to her systems and processes. Our team also has a transaction coordinator and marketing director that the team leader pays for, something I couldn’t afford as a new agent. I could go on and on about the value of joining a good team.

Be consistent and always provide great customer service. The market is saturated with real estate agents but you’d be surprised how few offer amazing customer service. I’ve built my business on exceptional customer service and have a constant flow of referrals from past clients, family and friends.

Best of luck!

 Thank you @Kelly Skeval.

When you refer to customer service.. what specifically do you do in order to distinguish yourself from the rest of the agents? 

I feel that at my job I am really good at what I do. When I’m learning something new I figure out ways to do things better than the last person. I create strategies to improve the job that was assigned to me. When it comes to real estate and dealing with people I know, I start thinking about all the things that could go wrong. 
in addition I’ve noticed there’s a lot of real estate agents out there that won’t present your offer, they go out of their way to not allow you to make a sale because they don’t want to split the commission. they are not ethical in many different ways. This has discouraged me from pursuing this career harder. 

Has anyone come across anything like that? What’s the best way to handle that?

What can homeowners do when their home is worth way less than their mortgage note? 

Are banks obligated to help?
