5 Open Houses a Weekend: Why I Go All-in for My Calgary Clients

5 Open Houses a Weekend: Why I Go All-in for My Calgary Clients

Intro

Real estate in Calgary is competitive. If you’re selling your home, you want an agent who doesn’t just list it—but actively works to get it sold. That’s why I commit to running up to five open houses every weekend across NW Calgary. Here’s why I put in the extra effort, what it means for my sellers, and how buyers benefit too.

Why I Run So Many Opens

For me, open houses aren’t just “showings.” They’re:

  • Lead machines: More exposure = more buyers through the door.

  • Market intel: I see in real time what buyers say about price, layout, and features.

  • Momentum builders: Energy attracts offers—fast.

By stacking multiple opens in one weekend, I maximize reach across different neighborhoods and buyer segments.

Benefits for Sellers

  • More eyeballs on your listing: Every open adds 15–30 groups of buyers who may not have booked a private showing.

  • Real-time feedback: I capture buyer reactions immediately and adjust strategy if needed.

  • Extra promotion: Each open house gets advertised online, on social media, and with signage—meaning your property gets triple the visibility.

  • Faster sales: Homes with active open house marketing often sell quicker and with stronger offers.

Benefits for Buyers

If you’re house-hunting, weekends are your best shot to:

  • Compare 3–5 homes in one afternoon

  • Ask me direct questions about the community, pricing, and resale potential

  • Get unfiltered market insights on the spot

Even if a particular home isn’t “the one,” you leave more educated about the Calgary market.

What My Weekend Looks Like

It’s not unusual for me to:

  • Host an open in Tuscany on Saturday morning, then Royal Oak in the afternoon

  • Run a Rocky Ridge or Arbour Lake open on Sunday, followed by Evanston or Panorama Hills

  • Spend evenings sending follow-ups to every visitor, ensuring no lead goes cold

It’s a grind—but it’s also why my sellers get results and my buyers trust me for real-time market insight.

Why It Matters in 2025

With Calgary inventory still tight in many NW neighborhoods, buyers are moving fast. Open houses create the environment for multiple-offer situations and give buyers a fair chance to experience homes in person. Sellers benefit from this buzz—it’s not just about showing a home, it’s about creating market energy.

Final Word

Running five open houses a weekend takes energy, planning, and commitment—but it’s worth it. If you’re hiring a Calgary realtor, ask: Will they put in this level of work for you?
