If your real estate agent has held an open house at your listing, you may want to ask some questions about how much interest was shown in your house, so that you can make some improvements to it if need be.

1. How many people stopped by and who were they? If you did not get as many people as you thought you would, it could be the agent's fault. Find out what he or she did to attract people to the house and what he or she will do next time to get a better turnout. Find out if the event was in the newspaper and if any of the neighbors came by to talk a look.

2. When and how will the agent follow-up with prospective purchasers or their agents? If someone seemed very interested, be sure to see how the agent will turn this prospect into a sale. See when the person will return to the house, while also seeing if the person had any concerns that could be addressed.

3. What positive and negative feedback did the agent receive about the home? One thing you definitely want to know if how people felt about the house in general. Try not to take anything personally, because it is all objective criticism, as maybe your home simply was not in line with their tastes. If something was repeated in the criticism, then you may have a problem and should probably look into it.

4. Did any problems or mishaps occur during the open house? If a large number of people stopped by, be sure that everything went smoothly. If someone tripped over a hose or bumped into something, you may want to remove that item to make sure it does not happen in the future. Even a minor issue can impact the home's value, so take care of everything that was a problem.

5. What's next? Come up with a plan with your real estate agents about what will happen in the near future. You want your home to be sold, so see how long this will take how that so many people have viewed it. Also, see if your realtor will implement any new plans when marketing.

QUICK TIP: You may want to skip having an open house unless it is something that is common in your area. This is because they are becoming less popular as time goes by and it is a huge inconvenience for you.
