Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

If a salesperson is planning an open house but has received no interest from the public, what should be their next step?

1. Proceed with a quieter open house and highlight the property’s features online.

2. Cancel the open house and inform the seller to reschedule when interest picks up.

3. Go ahead with the open house and hope for drop-in visitors.

4. Contact previously interested parties directly for invites.

The correct answer is: Cancel the open house and inform the seller to reschedule when interest picks up.

If a salesperson is planning an open house but has received no interest from the public, the best course of action would be to cancel the open house and inform the seller to reschedule when interest picks up. It may not be productive to proceed with an open house when there is no interest from potential buyers. It is better to wait and reschedule the open house for a time when there is more demand or interest in the property. This will ensure that the effort put into hosting the open house is more likely to be successful and yield better results.
