Open House With a Twist

On November 12, in Holliston, Massachusetts, local mompreneurs will be showcasing their products at a fall fair--and everything's for sale, including the house! That's because the fair is actually the backdrop for a real estate open house. In a Northeast real estate market that?s cooling down, creative open houses are the hot new thing. While in past years, the traditional Sunday afternoon open house might have generated a bidding war, now it?s hard to get people to even show up. So realtors are being forced to come up with imaginative ways to get potential buyers to view a property. This particular creative event is the brainchild of Brick House Realty.com owner Maria Salomão-Schmidt. Why not let this entrepreneur inspire you to put some thought into what you can do to spice things up this holiday season to draw in more customers. Live musical entertainment? Crafts to help entertain the kids? A tailgate party on football Sundays? Once your thinking cap's on, the possibilities are endless.
