Open house invitation people actually show up for.

  • Neighbour preview for people you know nearby

    Hi [First name], I'm listing a home near you at [Address] and holding a neighbour preview Sunday from 1:30 to 2, before it opens to the public. Neighbours often know who'd love the street. Come by if you're curious! [Your name], [Brokerage]

Do

  • Put the day, time and address in the subject or first line.
  • Give one reason this home suits this particular buyer.
  • Link one page with photos instead of attaching a dozen images.
  • Offer a private visit to anyone who can't make the time.

Avoid

  • Send the same invitation to every contact you have.
  • Bury the address under a paragraph of description.
  • Invite buyers whose budget sits far below the price.
  • Forget entry and parking notes for condos and busy streets.

With Tanero

Or say it once. ORBIT sends it.

Ask ORBIT for an open-house page and it builds one from the listing's real facts and photos, with its own short link and a way to request a viewing. It emails the invitation to your buyer group from your own Gmail or Outlook, texts the best-fit buyers from your Tanero number, and can phone your top few in any of 100+ languages. It can post the page to your Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn too. In Approval mode, the default, each invitation it sends on its own waits for your OK.

Make an open-house page for 88 Galt Avenue for Sunday 2 to 4, email it to my buyer group, and text the buyers looking in Leslieville.

Questions

Before you send it.

When should I send an open house invitation?

Email your list about six days before, text the best-fit buyers three days before, and send a short reminder that morning. An open house invitation sent too early gets forgotten; one sent the night before clashes with weekend plans.

What should the subject line say?

The day, the time and the address. People scan subject lines to see whether they can make it, so put those facts first.

Should I invite the neighbours?

Neighbours you already know, such as past clients nearby, often enjoy an early preview. Some pass it to friends who want the street, and some are quietly thinking about selling.

Can ORBIT make a page for the open house?

Yes. Ask for an open-house page and ORBIT builds it from the listing's real facts and photos, with its own short link. Ask for changes later and the link stays the same.
