Remember that a home that looks well kept will create favourable impression. Make sure you cut the grass or shovel the sidewalk as the season requires. Plan on doing a little spot painting to perk up problem areas, oil squeaking hinges, tighten loose screws, and all the other little things that show a home is cared for.

Whether it’s direct mail, advertising in Home Guides or the newspaper, or website promotion, we will effectively promote your event. However, you can add to the process by partnering in the promotion too. It is always wise to let your friends and neighbors you come across know about the open house.  Anyway that you can spread the word will add to the process.

For your Open House day, we will also counsel you on how to present your home to its best advantage. Leaving on all the lights, having a fire burning in the fireplace, soft background music playing, and coffee brewing all add to the ambience and make a welcoming impression. But as Michael will tell you, the best thing that you can do to make your open house a success is to get out and stay out! All joking aside, you'll get better results when your visitors feel free to poke about, linger, and ask very direct questions.
