5 Tips for a Successful Open House in Downtown Minneapolis - Edina Realty Real Estate Expert Mike Weiland's Tips on Appealing to Buyers in the Downtown Minneapolis Market.

Having an open condo has been a proven marketing tactic for decades now. Giving a lot of buyers the chance to look at your condo is a great way to gain exposure and interest among buyers. In this article, we'll discuss in dept how to appeal to buyers in the Downtown Minneapolis market using the open house.

Tip #1 Meticulous Staging

Stage your condo beautifully. Everything should be spotless and clean. The condo should be well lit and lightly scented. The overall impression should be that the condo is in top notch condition.

Tip #2 Collect Contact Information

To increase the likelihood that a buyer will make an offer on your condo, it's important to collect their contact information so you can follow up. Ideally, you want to get their name, phone number and email addresses.

The best way to do this is to have a sign in sheet.

Tip #3 Provide Snacks

Remember that the condo buying process is an emotional one. By providing snacks, cookies, water and/or fruit juices, you're associating a feeling of pleasantness to visiting your condo.

Tip #4 Have an Amazing First Impression

As an experienced real estate agent, I can tell you that buyers make their decision on a condo within seconds. It's vitally important that you keep your condo in tip top condition. A plastic bag that's lying around can literally cost you thousands of dollars.

Tip #5 Have the Price in Mind

Make sure your agent knows what your price range is. This gives your agent the ability to talk about price to qualified buyers on the spot if they're interested.

These tips will take you a long way towards having an amazing open house. As always, make sure that you're working with a real estate agent that really knows what they're doing when you're selling your condo.
