For sellers who aren’t comfortable with inviting a bunch of strangers into their homes, a broker’s open house may be a good idea. With this type of showing, only real estate professionals will be allowed to view the property.
Your agent will also use this opportunity to gauge reactions from other agents and brokers. They can talk to their colleagues about the asking price, marketing strategy and find out if anyone has clients who would be interested in the home.
Broker’s open houses are usually hosted mid-week, which may work better with your schedule. Additionally, you don’t need to worry as much about safety since most visitors will be your listing agent’s co-workers and acquaintances.
