How The Korn Team gets more buyers to your Open House

Everyone wants to sell their home. Open Houses have, for the longest time, been a regularly requested activity. The truth is, less than 1% of all homes actually sell at thier own open house every year. My team has been selling real estate for over 16 years and we have multiple open houses every week.

We have never sold a home AT the open house. Don't get me wrong, we sell homes because we held a home open....just not the one we were sitting at during the open house hours. It does happen...just not enough that you should be kicked out of your home every Sunday for hours on end.

However, for those of you who do like open houses, here is just a few ways The Korn Team ensures we get the most traffic possible to your home on that day.

1) Put the signs up a week in advance, all over. knock on the doors of the homes and invite the homeowner whose property you put the signs in on Monday morning.

2) Call anyone in our database working with or knows a buyer in the 125k price range for that particular area. Then, call and invite them to the open house.

3) There are SEVERAL websites that you can also post the open house on. Definitely let us know so we can get it on realtor.com. It should be on MLS and KWLS as well. We post it on as many sites as possible...at least by Monday or Tuesday so you can get more traffic than you ever imagined.

If you are trying to sell a home, or know someone that is, have them contact us today for a free, no obligation evaluation of their home in this market.

I can't sell my house! What is wrong?

The real estate market is tough all across the country. Here is a recent converstation with another top agent in the area that spells out exactly what you need to do to ensure you get your home sold. If you are not selling your home, and frustrated because you are not getting any offers, listen to this comment:

My collegue states: "The truth of the matter is that there are 3 times the amount of homes on the market now as compared to last year. Is yours the best staged, best priced and the easiest to see? If not, it won't sell, but it will help the competition to sell." There are tips and tricks we know that can help you get more showings. It always comes down to Location, Price and condition & in this market...the marketing plan can play a BIG part to make sure the eyeballs at least get on your property.
