- Tell a family member or friend about the location of the open house in case of emergency.
- Place signs advertising the location of the open house around the neighborhood, but do not obstruct the driver's view or place on private property without asking.
- Park out of way of potential buyers.
- Bring business cards and registration book and place them at the entrance to the home.
