An Effective Open House isn’t just about unlocking a door and laying out cookies. It’s a high-energy, high-strategy lead generation machine when executed properly. While most agents “sit” an open house and hope for results, top agents use a proven system to create real momentum, generate 5–10 high-quality leads every time, and showcase their professionalism to future sellers and buyers alike.

In this playbook, you’ll learn exactly how to plan, promote, execute, and follow up like a pro. Use every step, track your results, and turn every open house into a repeatable system that drives serious business.
