Default No Open House For Me
I am with Opusx1 - I have always felt the Open House was more a vehicle for the realtor to get buyers than it is a way to sell your home.
I also agree the caravan for realtors is a good idea. Get more folks to see your house.
And the other potential incentive - give a little extra commision. It may sound odd, but the realtor is looking to make money, and if you ante up a few bucks more, he'll be more inclined to push your home than the client who wrangled a lower commision rate. With all the homes on the market, it could help your stand out.
And of course, price right!
