Home Ask The LA Realtor-How important is an open house on my home?
Answer: Generally speaking, unless you live in a gated community that does not have free access to the public, there is no real need for an open house. Certainly no need for more than 1 public open house (when it’s first listed) and one Brokers Open (sometimes called caravan is usually held during a morning on a weekday for “brokers only”).
Today’s “state of the art” lock boxes track every agent that comes into your home. Additionally, they can be set to specific times in which to be accessed providing you with privacy when you need it.
The good news is you will not have to take off every weekend and find something to do while your home is being held open. With excellent photos, maps and virtual tours, buyers will have enough information to decide if they want to see your home.
So who does the open house benefit? Well, mostly the neighbors who’ve always wanted to see the inside of your home and agents who are looking for buyers to take to other listings. That’s not a bad thing, it’s just the nature of the business. Ask the Realtor
