Maybe flip your line of thinking and offer to throw a house warming party for the buyer at your cost. You'll be able to network with the buyers friends / new neighbors. To me a house warming party comes across more authentic than a gimmicky open house.

Either way, respect the hustle, let us know how it goes.

Obviously, by the user name, I am a roofer. I am also an inactive licensed Realtor. There is zero difference in our trades aside from what we are peddling.

If I'm being honest, the video is a bit over the top, it doesn't look as professional as I expected from a Realtor that I'm used to dealing with.

And that's what makes it different and memorable. I applaud your hustle as well.

I can tell you that the salesmen working for me that really kill it in sales are the ones knocking doors in gated neighborhoods. Knocking 8am to 8pm 7 days a week. Marketing. Mailers. They do it all and they do not take no for an answer at a door. They only leave when the person at the door gives them what they want, or they close the door in their face. They are aggressive. Most Importantly, the have zero care about anyone's opinion. They've been cursed, they've been threatened, called out on social media, the don't care. And they still have 1-3 million dollars of production every single year, including during covid.
When anyone in those neighborhoods thinks of roofing, there is no other option as far as they are concerned. Our name is at the top. That's what these sales guys do.

Realtors are salesmen.

The style does not suit me personally, I'm more of a white collar referral kind of guy, and I do Ok but my potential won't be maximized like aggressive types.

So, my point is that your technique is a bit more out there, but out there is what sells and makes you memorable.

When I was a Realtor, I hated open houses. I considered them a waste of time. You get looky loos and you sat around for 4 hours so you could talk to three people who weren't buying anything. Your approach increases the numbers, displays your personality, and will probably work quite well.

If the video is YOU, and truly your personality, then this may be successful. If it's a show, then it's not going to work long.

Also, for what it's worth, I'm a veteran oil and gas guy, so you R2R already resonates with me and you've already got a connection with me, even if it's a loose one. You're personality suits me. I'd hang out with you. If you knew your stuff, I'd buy from you. You, however, would fail miserably with my wife.

Long story short. OP had no intention of asking a question with this thread. Just another part of the marketing.

Wonder if it was one of your guys I had to pull a gun when he climbed my gate to get to the auto opener on then inside, knocked on my door, and then stuck his foot in my door after I asked him to leave and tried to close it. He left really quick after I backed him out of doorway and off my porch with a pistol. (If it was- you may let them know that going down dirt roads and climbing fences to get the gate to auto open is a great way to be the subject of "dumb ways to die".)

Aggressive isn't what most homeowners want, and aggressive is what gives roofing salesmen the "sleazy salesman" rep. My husband is in roofing sales. The amount of homeowners who talk about aggressive salesmen who have ripped them off is insane.

If the salesman isn't willing to die, he doesn't want the sale bad enough.
