What is the value of an Open house. According to statistics only 2% of all homes are sold from an open house. There is more value for the real estate agent to hold an open house because they may get more prospective clients from it.
The pros of it are that it is one more avenue of getting more people to look at your house. I try to put out fliers in the neighborhood before hand inviting the neighbors to see they house. That way more people know about the home. The neighbor may tell one of their friends, co-workers or family to come and see the house. Usually if you get 5 buyers to come through in one day you are lucky.
The con of it is the security risk. Sometimes people are there just to steal. There have been instances where Realtors have been mugged or raped in the house.
The bottom line is that if your home is for sale and the agent has time to hold an open house and he is willing to do it. What is there to lose?
I have 2 above average homes for sale right now. They are beautiful Wayne County Homes. One is a completely updated Allen Park Bungalow(1044 sq ft). Just about everything has been updated from the copper plumbing up to the roof. The other is a Livonia Colonial (2096 sq ft) with an in ground pool. It has a lot of updates and the owner has taken care of it. Search my featured listings or search Michigan homes
I am still at the on page 1 for Livonia Real Estate on MSN, Google, and AOL. Internet exposure sells house. So if you want somebody that is dedicated to getting your home out there on the Internet on as many sites as possible contact me at my website www.russravar.com Enjoy your Sunday.
