I am unable to search on HAR for areas or neighborhoods where there are no Homeowner Associations

Go to Matrix and do a property search. Add a field for Hoa and then dropdown and select No. You can also go to restrictions and dropdown to No restrictions. Sometimes there are properties that have no HOA but have deed restrictions.

How long do you need to be terminated to reset cdom?

90 days . It is also a good idea to terminate the listing and complete a new listing agreement

Is there a better day or time? Do you post it anywhere specific?

Saturday and Sunday 1-3 p.m. works ! Post on community pages , your own page, and open house pages. Turn open houses into lead-generating events. Before the open house, choose a listing to hold open, ideally a new listing or one on a busy road for good traffic. Confirm it's listed in MLS and online, which is the listing agent's job, and promote it on social media. Create a flyer with the address and date/time, listing the listing agent's name in small print, and plan your directional sign placement, getting homeowner permission before putting them up the morning of.Coordinate with the listing agent ahead of time. Ask about special home features, whether the property will be vacant, and lockbox access. Agree on how and when you'll send feedback afterward, and know your role if the seller comes home early: you don't represent them, so any questions should be directed to the listing agent. Pack an open house bag with consumer notices, buyer agency contracts, seller disclosures, an MLS printout, buyer and seller guides, a sign-in sheet, feedback forms, and area comps so you can speak knowledgeably about the market.Before heading to your own open house, schedule agent pre-views of other nearby homes for sale, timed right after it ends, which keeps you productive and builds your local expertise. On the day of, arrive 40 minutes early to stage the house by checking locks and windows, tidying walkways, and securing valuables. Stay centrally located rather than trailing visitors, and capture leads using sign-in sheets and scripts, such as offering to notify visitors of the sale price or inviting them on your preview appointment.After the open house, follow up with feedback. Email the listing agent letting them know who attended and their impressions of the home. Pass along contact info only for visitors already working with an agent, giving both their info and their agent's. Let the seller know that feedback has been sent to the listing agent, without offering your own opinions on price or next steps.If you want to come to an open house class, let me know!

“I had the pleasure of working with Sapana on a recent lease transaction, where she represented the landlord as the listing agent. From start to finish, she made the entire process incredibly smooth, professional, and efficient. Her communication was prompt, her attention to detail was excellent, and she kept everything moving seamlessly. She was extremely responsive and we were able to complete the entire transaction in less than a day—a testament to her responsiveness, organization, and commitment to getting the job done. It was a pleasure working alongside her, and I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate again.
