Listen "S2E29: Do's Don'ts and Deal Breakers: Open Houses"
Episode Synopsis
Open houses can be game-changers—for buyers, sellers, and agents alike. Whether you’re stepping into one or preparing to host, I’m diving into the biggest Do’s, Don’ts, and Dealbreakers that make or break these moments.Buyers: Use open houses to understand your local micro-market. Discover why one neighborhood might command a higher price tag than another. It’s also a great chance to meet agents and schedule follow-ups. DO leave your contact info, envision your life there, and take note of inspection-worthy items. DON’T bring pets, make messes, or gush about the house (yes, even with cameras rolling). It could cost you later in negotiations.Sellers: Open houses drive traffic and future opportunities. DO secure valuables and meds, plan to be out with buffer time, and prep a clean, photo-worthy space. Have a plan for pets and kids. DON’T expect detailed feedback—and remember, what buyers say on camera may not match their offers. Don’t let it rattle your mindset or expectations.Ready to put these tips into action?
