open house

    In 2025, simply putting a sign in the yard isn’t enough. If you want to pack your open house, social media is the megaphone you need to reach buyers fast—and for free.

    Here’s how to maximize your reach:

    1. Start with a Teaser Post

    Post a sneak peek 3–5 days before the open house. Share a carousel of the home’s best features or a 15-second video walkthrough. Add a call to action like: “Want a private early look? DM me.”

    2. Create a Facebook or Instagram Event

    Facebook events increase visibility by showing up in local feeds and “Events Near You.” Use keywords like the city, neighborhood, and “Open House” in your title.

    3. Go Live on the Day Of

    Give a live virtual walkthrough an hour before the open house begins. Pin the post and use it to build buzz with last-minute viewers.

    4. Boost Your Post with a Small Ad Budget

    A $10–$20 boost can get your post in front of hundreds of local buyers. Target zip codes, age ranges, and “likely to move” interests for best results.

    5. Use Stories + Reels

    Short-form video gets more reach than static images in 2025. A 10-second walkthrough or quick tour of the kitchen can spark interest fast.

    The more visibility you create online, the more foot traffic you’ll generate in person. Use these strategies to make your next open house your most attended one yet.

    Justin had wonderful feedback about his experiences with ProspectsPLUS!

    “I am a big fan of ProspectPLUS!. We have 45 agents and have set-up ‘Just Listed” and “Just Sold’ campaigns with an IDX feed. So its super easy for our agents to use.”

    “Becky at ProspectPLUS! helps us and is awesome, she makes it easy…literally no effort on our part, and that is what makes this tool so effective…so we can be spending time working with our clients and helping them buy and sell!”

    “They also offer great neighborhood marketing, which is very effective given its laser-like focus. It pays for itself, and then some, and I would highly recommend ProspectPlus to any agent, team leader, or company owner. As a company owner, its a great “value add” to offer your company!!”

    Amazon Fire TV Prize Winner – Mark Dreves

    Mark shared his recent experiences using ProspectsPLUS!.

    “ProspectsPLUS! has done it again. Just sent out ‘Just Sold’ postcards and because of it, I received 1 new listing! And, I have 3 more listing appointments that I expect to land too! One of the new ones will list for 250,000+, and the others are just shy of 200k. Awesome. When I get to send out Just sold cards for those three, I’ll pocket over $19,000 in commissions.”

    “Obviously, the Return On Investment is great. The ease of putting together a postcard is simple enough that a child can do.”

    “I am nervous giving such a good review because I don’t want to lose my business to other Realtors, but good deeds don’t go unrewarded. ProspectPlus knows that as they do great things for many professions every day! Thank you ProspectsPLUS!”
