I'll explain that I think they are an ineffective marketing tool, and discuss the other tools I use that have demonstrated to be more effective. If that doesn't work for them, I'm afraid it means I'm not the agent for them, and that's ok. To be honest, most of my clients don't want to be inconvenienced by an open house, and are easily persuaded, once we talk about the true effectiveness of open houses.

When we had our house on the market in May 2006 we were told by our agent that she doesn’t do open houses and they are usually done just to pacify the seller anyway.

What do you tell a seller if they want you to have an open house?
