A New Concept: The Thirty Minute Open House



My broker introduced me to a brilliant marketing idea recently: the thirty minute open house!




Holding an open house for only thirty minutes instead of the usual two hour window accomplishes three critical things:




  1. You have immediately created an urgency for buyers to see the home. They may rearrange their route to be sure they make it to yours.


  2. The shortened time span means that more potential buyers will be in the home at the same time. Perception then becomes that this is a "hot" property.


  3. Buyers who are looking at the home are more likely to be targeted buyers (not looky-loos).


So if you see me out hosting a thirty minute open house, it's not that I have a train to catch! But I do have a BUYER to catch!
