April 28 2015
What's a great way to drive traffic through a listing? Showings, good marketing, and of course open houses. Home buyers that are on the prowl for the "best of the best" have probably been to a few open houses already. How is yours going to stand out from the rest?
A clean house alone is a bare minimum. You need open house ideas that are engaging, fun, and leave a lasting impression. Whether it makes sense or not, home buyers care a lot about how a place feels. Your open house doesn't need to be perfect, but it does need to be put together. The best way to do this is to have a theme and stick with it.
4 Open House Themes to Craft the Perfect Feel:
1. "Cocktail Party"
I am not suggesting you buy booze for 40 people. I am suggesting you create the feel of a cocktail party. What are the main elements of a successful cocktail event? 1) People, 2) Drinks, 3) Music, 4) Food, 5) Sophistication. Create areas around the home that are pleasing to the eye and draw people to the best features. Inspire conversation with tantalizing treats and "freebies" that will make people feel welcomed and wanted.
Here are some party food ideas that are a little more sophisticated for this type of open house.
Also, think of decorating high-top tables like this – a few of these placed around the open house creates a put-together look while adding to the sophistication of the event. With tables like these, people will want to be around them and you can strategically place flyers and business cards on them.
