Advertise your open house
Ideally you should advertise on both the weekend before and weekend of the open house.

Create a property summary sheet.
This sheet gives prospective buyers an overview of your home. Include dimensions for each room, copies of a property survey, summaries of utility costs and property taxes.

Develop a sign-in form for prospects’ addresses.
You will ideally want both phone numbers and e-mail addresses to follow up with prospective buyers.

Put up signs.
One or two days before the open house, place directional signs at major intersections within three to four blocks of your flat/home. Be sure you check on anti-sign regulations in your area.

Get your house ready.
Remove clutter, clean your house, wash your windows, add flowers, turn on lights, open blinds, remove valuables and breakables, confine pets, turn on soft music, and set up a table for your property fact sheet near the entrance.

Develop a follow-up sheet.
Getting feedback on your home from prospects who have attended your open house will give you a better understanding of how to make your home more appealing to buyers.
