Real Estate Agent Interview Question:

Are you going to hold a broker's open house?

Submitted by: Administrator

A broker's open house shows your home to other agents in town. Your agent sends a notice to every firm in the area, inviting interested agents to come for lunch and a look-see.

Don't kid yourself; there are plenty of agents who just come to eat, especially if your broker is known for putting out a good spread. Still, for a few hours on a weekday afternoon, you will get some agents in your home who could decide it is perfect for someone they are working with.

Many agents choose not to do a "broker's open," particularly if the customer doesn't request it; their reasons vary, but I have heard agents say they dislike a broker's event because there is no direct possibility of making a sale. If you think it will help your house move, ask for it.
