Yes, I like being a Contrarian. I had a very successful Open House at a Waterfront this Summer. It was held from 12-2 on a Wednesday & although the property was not sold it was very close to selling & I picked up a good buyer.

Yes, I have Peter Mohylsky.  My first year as an agent I did Open Houses 6 days a week, not just on weekends.  It was different houses, in different areas, even if it was in the same community.  It was fun times!  Fast-forward to the present, I only do Open Houses on weekends, and if other agents in our office are willing to hold one of our houses 'open', I am totally fine with that.

Yes, I have.

However, it was very selective.

The property was located in Feather Sound and surrounded my professional offices and high tech businesses.

"Have lunch on me" was the signage. These 'mid-managers' putting in 18 hours a day DID leverage this opportunity. Be aware, for the signage to be effective they must be seen as they leave work the previous evening and/or the morning of the event as the return to work while it is still dark. This implies you may need to have more than one weekday open house for the 'memory' to work in your favor.

The second option for a weekday open house in a community with lots of cars in driveways during the day with a private invite for the community only. (PURPOSE of open house is GET MORE LISTINGS).

I have hosted Open Houses on every day of the week. People are often shocked, they think only weekends work.

I have found in our area of Florida, that there is little difference in attendance on one day or another.

During season, January, February and March, the seasonal people spend a lot of time driving around looking for a property to buy. Most of my traffic for Open House comes from people who see my directional signs.
