How the Right Open House Approach Helps Your Home Sell Faster (and Smarter)
Remember helicopter parents? 🚁
The ones who hovered over their kids' every move — from snack time to science projects? We've all met one… maybe even been one. No judgment. 😅
But here’s the twist: some real estate agents bring that same energy to open houses.
They hover.
They over-explain.
They follow buyers from room to room.
And instead of creating a great impression, they make buyers uncomfortable. 😬
Here’s the thing:
An open house should be inviting, not overwhelming. It’s not about hard selling — it’s about helping buyers envision themselves at home.
That’s why when I host an open house for my sellers, I follow one simple rule:
✨ Present but not pushy.
What does that mean?
✔️ I greet buyers warmly.
✔️ I give them space to explore at their own pace.
✔️ I’m available for questions — but never in their face.
It’s all about striking the balance between being helpful and being overbearing. Because when buyers feel at ease, they stay longer, ask more questions, and connect more deeply with the property.
Whether you’re selling in a hot market or a slow one, the energy at your open house matters. And a confident, relaxed atmosphere often does more to sell a home than any high-pressure pitch ever could.
