How many open houses should I do?

• If you are a new real estate agent, you should be holding at least 1 open house per week.

• If you are experienced and open houses are part of your streams of business, then you should be aiming for 1 open house per week.

• If open houses are not part of your business plan, it’s still recommended to host them monthly.

• The number of open houses you should host as a real estate agent depends on the amount of production that you want to get from open houses.

Pro Tips: If you are trying to strategically line up open houses, do them in conjunction with a new listing or price reduction.

If you have good open house skills, you can count on selling a home every 6-8 open houses* you host. This doesn’t mean that every 6 open houses you will automatically sell a house. It could be that it takes 12-16 open houses to meet a group that both buys and sells. (READ MORE)
