One of the best ways to meet prospective buyers for your Lakeland Sandpiper home for sale is

through an open house. It seems simple, but in truth, it’s not that easy.

Have you ever attended an open house where you were the only one present? Sadly, this is the

reality for most sellers who hold open houses.

Here are 5 simple ways to get people attend your open house:

● Post lots of directional signs.

Create at least 20 directional signs to your open house then print a map of the area surrounding

your Lakeland Sandpiper home for sale and mark on that map where you plan to place all the signs.

The more signs you have placed around the neighborhood, the easier it is to attract attention of

prospective buyers.

● Invite your neighbors and friends.

Make flyers and distribute them to neighbors a few days prior to your open house. Drop off

invitations to your neighbors and tell them that you are inviting them to your open house. You can

also invite friends through phone, social media, or other means. You’ll never know if one of them

knows someone who is interested to buy your Lakeland Sandpiper home for sale.

● Advertise on the Internet.

Make sure your Lakeland Fl agent is tech savvy and can advertise your home on MLS, Craigslist, and

even Facebook to expose your home for sale to the maximum number of people.

● Turn on the TV.

Turn on the TV to a big sports game, if there is one on the day of your open house. This will engage

any sports fans attending the open house. Visitors tend to stay longer when the TV is on, which

gives you more opportunities to engage them on the topic of sports and your home for sale.

● Offer free refreshments.

This may cost you a bit, but it works. If your home has a nice patio with an outdoor grill, you may

want to host a backyard barbecue to showcase your patio and grill. You can add other refreshments

like lemonade, hotdogs, and ice cream. This is a great way to entice prospective buyers to stay

longer in your home.
