The Art of a Open House
Introducing
HOW TO BEST MARKET YOUR HOME AT AN OPEN HOUSE
It is Like Hosting a Party
You want your guests to feel welcomed, comfortable, at easy. To stay as long or as short as they would like, and to ask what ever questions they have. Be curious about your guests and their interests. Be a well informed and gracious hostess.
Welcoming Someone Into the Home
Refreshments, chocolates, Skittles, coffee or water. A chair/ottoman where they can sit while they take their shoes off or put on booties?
Uniqueness – Good Easy Conversation
The condominium building was designed by John Graham, the same individual that designed the Space Needle. Reprinted a Letter from the MOMA from 1938 when MOMA did the first Exhibit on this style of Architecture.
Informative - Home, Neighborhood and Social
It’s not only about the house, but the neighborhood, schools, parks, restaurants and community events.
Be Prepared to Share the Rich History of the Home and Neighborhood
Tailoring the display, aerial photos, a map showing the unique location of the home, what makes the location unique this case the parks it is by, historical info on the creation of the parks by the Schmitz Family and their role in shaping West Seattle, a real estate market update, mortgage rate information, a walking tour of the home highlighting It’s features‌. (this is one example)
Future Features of the Home – Behind the Door
There is a perfect place for a wine cellar behind the door. Wall talker’s can provide that information. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Let Others Speak for the Home they can be much more convincing
