I've received some pretty intense training on doing Open Houses (if you can believe that). One of the training programs that I went through was about focusing all activities around an Open House Event. This segment of the training took 4 full days to complete! It was referred to, and tied in, during the complete training program that lasted about 3 weeks full time, and then part time over about 4 months. The agreement for the training that I signed also gave me license to do these events, witch the author required. A lot of training for an open house don't you think? Well let me tell you that these events, When done correctly, can bring as much as 20 times the visitors, or more, to see the sellers home! You can imagine the increase in the possibilities of a quicker sale. Another advantage is that with this kind of activity at the house, you can create a competitive buyer environment that can increase the price of the sale.

The average open house sells less than 10 percent of the homes held open. And if you've done them you know that often you get only one, or even no visitors. This is why many agents recommend against, or just don't do open houses. This is why you may have heard ‘Open houses don't work'. I've done a lot of them in my career, both kinds. The possibility of finding a buyer for your home with one of these ‘events' is increased dramatically.

There's only a handful of agents that are licensed to them. And even less that do them correctly.
