The Real Reason Your Agent Wants an Open House

Описание: Most sellers are told by their real estate agent that open houses are about exposure. That sounds reasonable — but it’s NOT the full story.

In this video, I break down a viral open house training video created for real estate agents and explain what open houses are actually designed to do, how agent incentives work behind the scenes, and why sellers are often only told part of the truth.

This is part of an ongoing #FixMyRealtor series where I analyze popular real estate advice — viral videos, common strategies, and widely accepted practices — so homeowners can tell whether advice actually protects them or quietly serves the agent’s interests instead.

In this breakdown, you’ll learn:
❌ Why agents push open houses so aggressively
✅ What open houses are really optimized for
✅ When open houses can benefit a seller
❌ Where incentives between sellers and agents diverge
✅ How to stay in control of the process if you choose to do one

The goal isn’t to attack agents or tell you what to do. It’s to give you a clearer lens so you can make informed decisions, protect your leverage, and avoid mistakes that get expensive.
