The time is now to register your office for the 7th Annual Long Island & Queens REALTOR® Open House Weekend, Saturday and Sunday, April 9 and 10, 2016! Join REALTORS® across Long Island and Queens for the grandest Open House Weekend event of the year. Open houses, open doors to homeownership!
The weekend is organized by the Long Island Board of Realtors® (LIBOR) in an effort to unite Realtors® as they host thousands of open houses, while engaging consumers on the benefits of homeownership and bringing buyers and sellers together.
The Long Island & Queens REALTOR® Open House Weekend offers buyers a stress-free way to visit homes for sale in different neighborhoods where they might want to live. For sellers, the weekend provides a high-visibility effort to promote traffic and drive home sales.
According to data from the National Association of Realtors® (NAR), the months between April and July are when the most house sales take place. Many homeowners choose this time of year to sell their homes as it is vacation time and there is nicer weather. Buyers are often reluctant to uproot themselves while their children are in school and when the weather makes moving difficult. Given the number of houses on the market during spring, it can be an optimal time for house hunting. During Realtor® Open House weekend, buyers can have a greater chance of finding the home of their dreams.
Plan to be a part of the campaign, hosted by the Long Island Board of Realtors® on Saturday and Sunday, Aril 9 -10, 2016.
In an effort to motivate would be buyers to attend your open houses that weekend, LIBOR will be giving away $1,000 to three (one in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens counties) lucky Open House attendees. Although there is no purchase necessary to enter the sweepstakes, we hope that the recipients use the funds towards the purchase of their new home. Tony Smith, the Chairperson of the LIBOR Public Relations committee, together with Vice Chairperson, Matthew Arnold, will select the winners, on Tuesday, April 12, 2016; the winners will be notified by phone. All entries must be made online at the designated sweepstakes website address before midnight on Monday, April 11, 2016. All open house attendees will receive printed instructions at each open house on how to enter the sweepstakes. Sweepstakes instructions and details will be available online and brokers/agents will be responsible for making sure they have enough copies for the public at each of their open houses that weekend.
In its seventh year, the Realtor® Open House Weekend has been proven successful since its inception. With print, radio and social media advertising, it is a marketing extravaganza; which in turn, drives traffic to your listings. All the way around, your office participation in this high-profile marketing event makes sense.
