Would you like to have a compelling reason for people who wander into your
open house to work with you? Of course, and you will if you can demonstrate that
you are familiar with the area and can show them everything that is
available.
What you need is to run a slide show of the other homes that are available in
the area during your open house. You can do it with your computer, PowerPoint,
and a little know-how.
We’ll even make it simpler by giving you a template that will save you the
time it takes to set it up. All you’ll need to do is download from here it and save it in the proper place: C:\Documents and
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates. Open it and go to View,
Master, Slide Master to modify it with your name, picture, and
company logo. Save it and close it.
Then, simply follow these steps and you’ll really impress not only the
prospects that visit your open house but the other agents too.
