Riverside County, CA

Home buyers and sellers are facing a tough market, and that's especially true in Riverside County, CA. Buyers may have more choices, but that same fact makes it hard to sort through one's options and choose just one. Sellers are up against tight competition, with hundreds of properties vying for a small handful of buyers. That's why Riverside homeowners are turning to open houses-buyers to find the perfect home, and sellers boost their home's exposure.

Of course, there's more to open houses than getting word out and letting people through your doors. Like any other project, it takes some planning and expertise. PlanOpen.com offers a full array of open house planning services, from evaluating your home to actually hosting the event. With our well-trained agents and years of marketing experience, you can be sure your open house will draw in the right people-and more importantly, get your home sold. Here's a quick guide to help you get started.

How It Works

An open house is a day when your house is available for viewing and inspection by prospective buyers. In an open house, you let buyers into your home so they can see it for themselves, rather than just look at pictures from the MLS listing. You also get to interact with viewers and answer questions not addressed by your listing, such as recent renovations, years of occupancy, inspection costs, and your reason for selling. Weekends are usually the best time for an open house, as both buyers and sellers have the entire day for viewing.

What It Can Do For You

At first glance, an open house seems to be of most help to buyers-after all, you won't buy a home based on pictures alone. But an open house weekend can actually benefit both parties. Besides getting a more accurate view of the home, buyers can also check out other factors such as the neighborhood, the local traffic, and environmental features such as parks and pedestrian trails.

For sellers, open houses help a great deal in marketing and exposure. A lot of Riverside buyers will only look at houses that are open for viewing, so just being on an open house listing can greatly improve your chances. You also get to talk to buyers personally and show them what you really like about your home. That way, they'll feel more comfortable making their choice, and not as if they're being forced into the deal.

Getting Started

The first thing you want to do is find an open house realtor. Not all real estate agents have specific experience with open houses, and you'll want one who has worked with Riverside County buyers and sellers alike. PlanOpen.com specializes in open house hosting and planning, and we work with both parties so we know how to make the most of each deal.
