WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE WEICHERT OPEN HOUSE PROGRAM?

 

ALMOST 3 OUT OF EVERY 4 HOME BUYERS VISIT AT LEAST ONE OPEN HOUSE.*
KNOWING THIS, WE DEVELOPED OUR COMPREHENSIVE OPEN HOUSE PROGRAM TO SHOW OUR CLIENTS’ HOMES TO AS MANY BUYERS AS POSSIBLE. THIS INDUSTRY-LEADING PLAN IS A POWERFUL MARKETING TOOL THAT DIRECTLY LEADS TO THOUSANDS OF HOME SALES EACH YEAR.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE WEICHERT OPEN HOUSE PROGRAM?
WE HOLD MORE OPEN HOUSES THAN ANYONE ELSE BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND HOW TO TURN A CASUAL VISIT INTO A SALE. OUR PROGRAM ISN’T ONLY ABOUT OPENING YOUR FRONT DOOR FOR A FEW HOURS. EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT US THAT THE PREPARATION AND THE FOLLOW-UP WORK ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT TO MAKE THE DAY SUCCESSFUL.

Step One:
Reach potential buyers in every way possible:
Websites

Social media

Email invitations

Newspapers

Direct mail

Flyers

Personal outreach through phone calls

The familiar Weichert signs and balloons

Step Two:
Connect on a personal level
Explain your home’s benefits using detailed information.

Engage the buyers and help them envision living in your home.

Give tours to highlight advantages and features of your home.

Ask the visitors if they are ready to make an offer today.

Step Three:
Follow up
Contact every visitor that signed your guest registry, usually within 24 hours.

Provide you with feedback from the visitors to assist in marketing your house, if it didn’t sell at the open house.

The Weichert Open House Program offers many advantages. Contact your local Weichert office to learn more about how hiring a Weichert Realtor® will attract buyers to your home.

Setting up a specific website for your home and using social media are possible ways your Sales Associate may recommend for making sure the information about your home reaches the widest audience.

The Elements of an Offer

The Elements of an Offer

Your Weichert Sales Associate will receive offers on your behalf and present them to you. They should contain the same basic information for easy comparison. They will all include the offer price, any earnest money deposit and the amount of down payment. An offer will also include a closing date, any details of escrow, details of items both included and not included in the sale and contingencies.

Any counteroffer can include modifications to this original agreement. Most often counteroffers include a change in purchase price, contingencies or closing date. Sometimes this can happen quickly with a few phone calls and sometimes it takes several days.

The final purchase agreement will cover all of these points and be signed by both parties. In states without an “attorney review” period, it becomes a legally binding contract as soon as it’s signed. Both parties have to adhere to the terms unless one of the contingencies is not met.

It’s not wise to make any huge purchases or move your money around three to six months before buying a new home. You don’t want to take any big chances with your credit profile. Lenders need to see that you’re reliable and they want a complete paper trail so that they can get you the best loan possible. If you open new credit cards, amass too much debt or buy a lot of big-ticket items, you’re going to have a hard time getting a loan.
