As the City of Arts and Innovation, Riverside open houses need to go above and beyond to entice people to participate. If you put in only the bare minimum effort, it'll be difficult to find people interested in engaging with your properties.
PMI Riverside is here to help guide the way. We've put together the top Riverside property showing tips that can help your property outshine the competition.
Keep reading to learn how to implement these tips into your next open house showing!
Improve Curb Appeal
As the first thing people see as they approach the property, curb appeal is the key to successful open houses. If the exterior is underwhelming, why would guests want to see the interior?
A few upgrades are all it takes to make a visual difference, including:
- Trim grass and bushes
- Plant flowers
- Sweep the walkway or driveway
- Upgrade lighting features
- Place eye-catching decorations to celebrate the open house showing
Optimize Timing
A memorable property showing takes more than preparing the property itself. It also means you'll need to figure out the best time to host the open house.
If you set the showing during the time most people are at work, the chances of no-shows increase by a lot. To make certain your showing goes to plan, be versatile with your times and dates.
This gives people of all types a chance to partake in the showing without putting them in a rough situation with their other obligations.
Provide Information Packets
As people arrive, give them all the information they might want about the property in an easy-to-read format. Show them the unique highlights of your property, such as its upgraded amenities or why it's so special compared to competitors.
You'll have time during the showing to go into detail, but this kind of quick information dump can give guests an overview they can return to after the showing is over. It'll provide both a reminder of the showing and the reasons why they should be interested in the property.
Offer Refreshments
Even guests at a showing deserve refreshments to enjoy during the event. Offering refreshments is one of the easiest property-showing strategies that's often overlooked. Refreshments are a quick way to make a connection with your guests and give them a way to relax and enjoy the experience.
It'll go a long way in showing the guests that you are the type who exceeds expectations. You'll show them that you know how to woo guests and turn a profit.
