If you’re selling a home and perhaps the home has been sitting on the market longer than you think it should, hosting a broker open house may be a great option. A broker open gives the seller and the listing agent an opportunity to show off the home in the area and increase the chances of matching it with its next owner.
Benefits
A broker open is different from a traditional open house in the sense that the house is not shown to potential buyers but rather to other real estate agents. These agents tour the house and decide if the home meets the needs of one of their buyers. Showing the house to a group of real estate agents increases your chances of finding a buyer and may even provide multiple bids to choose from.
Even if the attending real estate agents don’t come back with a buyer, they can still offer valuable feedback on the state of the home. They may suggest that the price point is too high or that there are eyesores that need to be addressed. The information can be relayed back to the homeowner as a direct reflection of the industry’s opinion about the home, and they can feel good about making those necessary changes. This kind of feedback is invaluable, and fresh sets of experienced eyes are wonderful tools if you want questions answered and a home quickly sold to the right buyer.
