Day 5: Door Knocking to 100 Houses – Boost Open House Visibility Through Personal Outreach

Welcome to Day 5 of the 12x12 Agent Fast Start Challenge! Today’s strategy is direct, powerful, and time-tested: door knocking. By visiting 100 homes around your open house location, you’ll establish your presence, build trust, and create real connections with local homeowners and residents.


Today's Objectives

  • Prepare your flyers and route

  • Knock on 100 doors and engage with neighbors

  • Follow up with interested residents


1. Prepare for Door Knocking

Preparation is key to confident, efficient door knocking.

Steps:

  • Design flyers with open house details, property highlights, and your contact info

  • Identify 100 nearby homes (map them in a walkable route)

  • Practice a simple, friendly script introducing yourself and your open house

Time Commitment: 1–2 hours

Why It Matters:
Being organized means you can focus on making meaningful connections, not scrambling with logistics. It positions you as professional and credible.


2. Knock on Doors and Engage with Residents

It’s time to meet your neighbors and invite them to the event.

Steps:

  • Smile, introduce yourself, and explain the purpose of your visit

  • Hand them a flyer and briefly share the open house details

  • If they're open to it, have a short, engaging conversation about the home or neighborhood

  • Leave the flyer regardless of interest and thank them for their time

Time Commitment: 4–5 hours

Why It Matters:
Face-to-face introductions make a lasting impression. Even if they’re not buyers, they might refer others or simply remember you for future real estate needs.


3. Follow Up with Interested Neighbors

Closing the loop with those who expressed interest shows professionalism and helps drive open house attendance.

Steps:

  • List interested contacts with details from your chat

  • Send a reminder message or email the night before your open house

  • Reaffirm your excitement and openness to questions or visitors

Sample Message:
“Hi [Name], just a quick reminder about the open house at [Address] tomorrow from [Time]. It was great chatting the other day—hope to see you there!”

Time Commitment: 1–2 hours

Why It Matters:
People appreciate reminders. This shows care, builds credibility, and keeps your event top of mind.


Daily Task Summary

  • Prepare Materials and Plan Route: 1–2 hours

  • Door Knock 100 Homes: 4–5 hours

  • Follow-Up with Interested Neighbors: 1–2 hours

  • Total Time Commitment: 6–9 hours
