HomeSmart agents throughout the country are invited to participate in the company’s coast-to-coast National Open House Weekend July 14 and 15. 

Consumers will have access to local real estate agents who are experts in their neighborhoods and can view homes easily without appointments. House hunters and members of the community will have the opportunity to meet and greet with local HomeSmart agents, ask questions about the homes, build stronger community connections and learn about the local market. 

HomeSmart Chief Operating Officer Wendy Forsythe said, “At the close of April 2018, the National Association of Realtors® reported the average time a home is on the market is 26 days. In this hot real estate climate, with low inventory, the event gives countless opportunities for buyers to view homes and make an offer quickly and opportunities for sellers to show off their homes to the public over the course of one weekend.” 

The National Open House Weekend not only brings HomeSmart International’s extensive network of more than 15,000 agents together for a single event, but also helps drive consumers through homes listed by HomeSmart agents, causing individual agents see a lift in their business this summer, while creating momentum that will carry over in the fall months. 

Agents are encouraged to hold an open house for every listing they have in an effort to increase productivity and to create excitement throughout the system during these busy summer months. 

Todd Sumney, HomeSmart chief industry officer added, “The National Open House Weekend will provide agents an opportunity to increase local brand awareness while connecting with prospective buyer and seller clients. We’re looking forward to this impacting both our national agent community, as well as the communities they serve each day.” 

Participating agents can enter to win a $1,000 prize for every open house they hold during the HomeSmart National Open House Weekend, by sharing and promoting the event through social media using #HomeSmartOH or by submitting a photo of themselves and their open house during the event weekend.
