How to Plan and Hold a Real Estate Open House

Talk to experienced agents or brokers with experience to find out the days and time of day that have worked best for them for open houses. Check the newspaper and other advertising media to see when others are holding open houses. This is particulary helpful if there are others in the same subdivision or nearby areas, as they will help to generate traffic for you.

Allow time for effective planning and marketing. Generally, allow two or more weeks to get it all together for a successful open house.
