Spring has officially sprung and that means open house season is in full bloom!
RPR (Realtors Property Resource®) is here to help you get ready and host an event that draws traffic, lures in buyers, and maybe even helps you connect with some warmed up leads.
For tips on how to prep, plan and pull it all off, check out RPR’s ultimate guide: A-Z Open House Tips.
However, the focus of this article is a reminder that the most important guest who attends your open house… is your phone. That’s right, the RPR app is your secret, on-site weapon!
The RPR app–where every answer is in the palm of your hand
On game day, make sure the RPR Mobile™ app is updated and downloaded to your phone and with you at all times.
The reason? Ahead of time, you can run a variety of different reports on the home and the area. Everything you do on the RPR website syncs with your phone app. So when you create the reports for your property address, all those reports will be one touch away. You can also create reports right there in the house, on the fly, and instantly send them to prospects visiting the open house.
These reports, such as the Market Activity Report, the Neighborhood Report and the Schools Report, will arm you, and prospective buyers, with loads of data and information. Then you’ll be ready to have conversations about the home itself, the neighborhood, the schools and the market. Speaking of market conditions…
Market Trends and Housing Stats Go Mobile
Access hyper-local housing market data with just a simple tap from the app’s home screen. You’ll see a laundry list of relevant area data, including: New Listings, Active Listings, Pending Listings, Sold Listings. Sold Public Records, Month’s Supply of Inventory, Median Estimated Property Value and more.
The advantages of being able to offer this type of information are endless. Access to this data positions you as the go-to, local market expert. Simply put, these charts make you look really smart!
If a buyer strolls in and asks a question about home inventory in the neighborhood, there’s zero “fake it til you make it” on your part. With the RPR app in your back pocket, you’re able to provide up-to-date, rock solid data that will make a huge impression on your open house goers.
