Walking through a home gives buyers a different comfort level about not just the home, but also the amenities the neighborhood has to offer. TREND has a variety of ways for you to maximize your marketing potential just by adding your open house information into the MLS.
Use TREND’s Open House Form
We recently created an
Open House form that makes it much easier to gather information about potential open houses quickly and easily. This form provides you the space to gather all of the important information relating to 3 separate open houses, such as time, date and special remarks you may want to share with potential buyers.
According to a 2009 study conducted by REALTOR.com, more than 90% of people look to the Internet to find a home
1, which means they have the ability to go to any number of websites and see when and where your open house is taking place. And in order to stay ahead of the market, what better way to advertise your open house then by entering it into the MLS.
TREND Sends Your Open House Info to REALTOR.com
Since January 1, 2010, nearly 150,000 open houses have been entered into the MLS by the TREND community. There has been a steady increase in the number of open houses entered monthly, making TREND “the place” to enter this vital marketing information. And when all of those open houses were entered into the MLS, they weren’t just shared with other members of the TREND community; they were also shared with the more than 6 million potential buyers who visit REALTOR.com on a monthly basis
