Now more than ever, real estate agents need to get creative and stay safe when it comes to open houses. In today’s episode I’m sharing a few tips and strategies on how to maximize a virtual open house using Facebook Live.

Please note – please stay safe and abide by all of your local and state rules! When in doubt – ask your broker!

Lessons learned:

• You can do a Facebook Live from your phone or computer. You don't need any fancy software, you don't need a special app.

• As you get a little bit more experienced with Facebook Live and doing virtual open houses, I recommend using a third party platform like Be.Live or Zoom

• Promote your virtual open house in advance on social media and email.

• If doing a Facebook Live from your phone, make sure notifications are turned off.

• Welcome people to your Facebook Live.

• Share 3-5 highlights of the home.

• End with a call to action such as, “If you'd like to see the full virtual tour, send me an email.”

• After your live broadcast - be sure to promote the replay!
