As I was driving to my open house today and was listening to the Masters golf tournament I started to wonder whether I could, and more importantly should, have it on at my open house. I have certainly held many homes open and often times there is something compelling on at the time (Dodgers or Laker playoffs, final four...I assume you can tell that I'm from Los Angeles and also a sports fan) and in the past I've turned the TV on to these events if the open house is slow. The reaction is often good as the potential home buyers often linger a bit longer and we get to talking, but I wondered what other Realtors out there think as I'm sure you all have different ideas of how to successfully hold open houses.
