What Happens After the Open Home?.

Open home follow-up should separate genuine buyers, future sellers and other contacts so each person receives the right next step.

An open home can add a lot of people to your CRM.

The important part is what happens after they leave.

Filed Under

Record the basics.

For each attendee, capture what is useful:

  • Contact details

  • Property inspected

  • Level of interest

  • Buyer requirements

  • Whether they need to sell first

  • Any useful feedback

Separate the contacts.

Not everyone at an open home is the same.

You may have:

  • Active buyers

  • Neighbours

  • Future sellers

  • Investors

  • People researching the area

  • Buyers who are not suitable for that property

Your CRM should help you identify the difference.

Follow up the right way.

A serious buyer may need a call soon after the inspection.

A neighbour may be more relevant as a future seller.

Someone who is not interested in the property may still be looking for something else.

The follow-up should match the reason they attended.

Update buyer requirements.

If the property did not suit, find out why.

That information can help refine:

  • Preferred location

  • Budget

  • Property type

  • Size

  • Features

  • Timing

Look for seller opportunities.

Some attendees already own nearby property.

If they mention plans to sell, move or seek an appraisal, record it properly and create a follow-up.

Record the outcome.

After follow-up, update the CRM with:

  • What was discussed

  • Their current position

  • Any new requirements

  • What happens next

  • Next follow-up date

An open home should create more than an attendance list.

It should leave you with better information and clear next steps.
