In this video I’m walking you through how to prep for your very first open house the smart way—by going out and “stealing like an artist” (ethically). Before you host, I want you to tour a few other agents’ open houses in your area and pay attention to what they’re doing: how they’re placing signs, what their setup looks like, how they greet people, how they capture info, and what the overall vibe feels like. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel—just model what’s working and then make it your own. I also cover the practical side that new agents always ask me about: where to order open house signs, what types of signs to buy, and what stakes to get so your signs don’t look flimsy or fall over. The goal is simple—make it easy for people to find the house, look professional, and run a clean operation so you can focus on meeting neighbors and converting conversations into appointments. If you’re brand new, this is the exact kind of “ops” stuff that helps you show up confident instead of scrambling the morning of.
