We are kicking off a new series where we tackle some of the old-time real estate BS that’s out there. Things that have been said and taught by realtors for generations that are NOT true. 

Today, Glen attacks the long-held myth that open houses are a waste of time. Drawing from his personal experiences since his rookie days, he explains how open houses, when done right, can create urgency, spur competition, and help gauge your pricing strategy. 

He also discusses the importance of proper marketing, the psychology of potential buyers, and how to run an effective open house to maximize offers. Last, Glen shares his open house checklist, strategies for creating a ‘buyer feeding frenzy,’ and tips for effective follow-up with potential buyers. 

Throughout the episode, Glen emphasizes the importance of proper pricing and staying cool and composed during the selling process.
