Dont’ Stay Home at Open Houses
Linda will tell you, the best thing you can do to make your open house a success is to not be home. We receive better results when your visitors feel free to poke about, linger, and ask very direct questions. If you’re present, they’ll feel more constrained and we may not even get an opportunity to identify their concerns and/or attempt to offer them options and solutions. Pack up the kids, dog and cat.
- Enjoy your day away Trust Linda and her team to do their job. After all, they are the experts!
