State Requirements

Open houses have been a standard practice in seller representation for decades, but they're not always productive or successful. By carefully selecting which listings are suitable for an open house, then preparing the sellers for the event, licensees are far more likely to have an effective open house.

During an open house, licensees are responsible for the security of the seller’s property, as well as the safety of the visitors and themselves. But open houses aren't the only safety risk to real estate professionals. Due to the nature of the business, licensees face more risks than the average professional. Staying Safe in Real Estate: Best Practices Including Open Houses & Digital Safety will help licensees take the necessary steps to protect themselves, their clients, and their clients’ possessions before, during, and after holding open houses and throughout their real estate activities.

This two-hour course goes through the steps involved in planning for and hosting a successful open house, including safety aspects to consider. The second half of this course takes a broader look at safety concerns for real estate professionals.

Course highlights include:

Evaluating when to choose an open house and when to choose a virtual tour instead
Preparing properties and sellers for an open house
Establishing guidelines for a successful and safe open house
Developing an overall safety plan that includes marketing materials, client relationships, and home and office settings
Protecting personal safety through everyday actions
