An open house is a golden opportunity for real estate listing agents to showcase a property, but it doesn’t have to take over your entire weekend. With the right preparation and smart strategies, you can run a seamless open house that leaves potential buyers impressed—and leaves you with time to spare. Here’s how to make it happen.

- Stage the home to highlight its best features.
