Are open houses still one of the fastest ways to get new real estate clients?
Yes. When they are marketed correctly.
Open houses are still one of the most effective in-person lead generation tools we have. But most agents either wing it or repeat the same routine every weekend and hope traffic magically shows up. That is exactly why so many open houses feel quiet, awkward, and unproductive.
That is also why I built this class.
Why Most Open Houses Underperform
I see this all the time when I talk with agents:
No real pre-marketing plan
One Instagram post the morning of
A few signs tossed out last minute
No clear follow-up system afterward
When you rely on luck, you get random results. And random results do not build a business.
Open houses work best when you treat them like a mini marketing campaign, not a box you check off on the weekend.
What I’m Teaching in This Class
In Maximize Your Open House Traffic: Digital and Traditional Marketing Tactics, I break down exactly how I approach open houses so they drive real traffic and turn visitors into actual clients.
This is not theory. This is what I see working right now.
Here is what we cover.
A Real Pre-Marketing Plan
We start before the weekend even hits.
When to start promoting your open house
How to layer digital and neighborhood outreach
What actually moves the needle versus what wastes time
The goal is simple. Make sure people know your open house is happening before you unlock the door.
Simple Social Content That Actually Gets Views
You do not need fancy videos or hours of editing.
I show you:
What to post leading up to the open house
How to talk about the property without sounding salesy
How to position the open house as an event, not just a showing
This works whether you are a buyer agent or a listing agent.
Neighborhood Outreach That Still Works
Digital matters, but local still wins.
We cover:
Smart ways to invite the neighborhood
How to think about flyers and door knocking strategically
Why nearby homeowners are some of your best long-term leads
This is about consistency, not awkward cold interactions.
Signage Strategy That Pulls People In
Signage is not just about quantity.
I walk through:
Where signs actually matter
How placement affects traffic
Why fewer, smarter signs often outperform more
You want signs that guide people, not confuse them.
A Follow-Up System That Converts
This is where most agents drop the ball.
I show you:
What to say after the open house
How to follow up without sounding pushy
How to turn visitors into conversations and future clients
An open house without follow-up is just a long Sunday.

Who This Class Is For
This class is built for:
New agents who want a repeatable system
Experienced agents who want better results
Listing agents who want more exposure
Buyer agents who want more face-to-face conversations
If you want open houses to actually contribute to your business, this is for you.
