How To Get More Agents at Your Next Brokers Open House

Published by Sarah Cooper at 6:11 pm under Marketing Materials, ideas

Today Beth Morrison and Pam Myatt with Old Colony held a brokers open house. They had a nice cookout and a lot of agents stopped in to see the house. This is a good way to get marketing suggestions if you’re having trouble selling a home, and it’s a quick, effective way to get feedback from other professionals.

It also doesn’t hurt to have a lot of busy agents see the good points in a home. Feed a bunch of real estate agents, help them have a good time in a home and guess what — they’re going to remember it when they talk to clients. It’s not magic, but I bet it does help sell a house.

While I was there, looking at the pretty house and scarfing down a burger, I realized that the best way to make sure people would want to come to the next brokers open house was to show them what a good time they missed at this one.

So of course, I thought of making a Real Estate Show. Why? Because it takes no time at all to create!

The next time Pam and Beth are planning a brokers open house, they can email an invitation along with the Real Estate Show from this one. People will want to join in the party. If you’re a real estate agent, chances are that you have your camera nearby all the time.

Don’t miss these opportunities!

    Sarah - first let me say how much I appreciate the ideas you share here every week. Thank you.

    Using RES as an invitation to a Broker Open House is a great idea! As a real estate photographer, I have traded sponsorship recognition at the Open House in return for creating a follow up RES to all of the attendees (see http://www.realestateshows.com/187095 for an example). Thanks to your post, next time I attend one of these Open Houses I will take pictures of the event itself and use those shots to market the next one.

    Does anyone think that receiving both a pre- and a post-event RES will be too much?
