Open Houses are a Waste of Time!

The internet is a better resource than an open house to get your home sold.

How about trying an open house?  This is a common question from a seller anxious to get his home sold.  With the exception of new construction, I've never found holding an open house in Eastern CT a particularly good strategy for getting a home sold. I have met some great folks at open houses, many interested in decorating tips but not even remotely interested in buying a home.  In addition, open houses can be a security threat for the agent holding the home open. 

Exposure on the internet seems to be a much better way to get your home sold. Multiple photos showing off your homes best features and links to neighborhood/town resources can get your home more exposure than holding an open house to a limited viewing public.  I prefer to use a web resource like Agency Logic, a great tool for creating professional websites for a single property.  I've created a number of single property websites which are linked below.
