Open House Helpers

08/29/2026

🔥 Things have been moving pretty fast around here lately!

We’ve ordered 700+ new directional signs, added another installer to help keep up with demand and have some great industry partners wanting to get involved and help sponsor open houses for agents.

But our favorite thing lately?

One of our customers recently had 40+ groups through ONE open house!

That’s exactly what we want to see. But it also raises an important question...

What the hell do you do when 40+ groups actually show up?

Getting traffic is only half the battle. Knowing how to manage a busy open house, make warmer connections and turn that traffic into actual business is the other half.

That’s one of the things Dustin will be discussing at our next Open House Domination class!

September 9th | 9:30–11:00 AM

Anyone who has ever attended this class will tell you that it's not the same weak and outdated content that has flooded our industry for decades.

Everything I share is from my own experience both as an agent and the founder of Open House Helpers.

Can a licensed real estate agent in Arizona host an open house for another brokerage? Answer: Yes, when properly authorized and disclosed.

The Arizona Department of Real Estate has specifically addressed this question: “May a licensee of one company hold an Open House on a listing of another company?”

I recently called ADRE to discuss this. Their answer is YES, subject to specific safeguards.

ADRE identifies the primary concern as avoiding confusion about whom the hosting agent represents.

ADRE REQUIREMENTS:

According to ADRE guidance, a licensee from another brokerage may conduct the open house when:
• Both brokers agree to the arrangement.
• The hosting agent makes clear that they do not represent the seller.
• The hosting agent clearly identifies their own brokerage through signage, business cards and advertising.
• The hosting agent does not receive compensation directly from the listing agent for conducting the open house.
• The hosting agent is there for the purpose of meeting prospective buyers with whom they may work.

WHAT THE 2026 ARIZONA REAL ESTATE LAW BOOK SAYS:

• A.R.S. §32-2153(A)(B), Page 60
A salesperson or associate broker may not represent or attempt to represent a broker other than the broker to whom they are licensed. This is why the hosting agent must remain under their own brokerage and cannot present themselves as representing the listing brokerage.
• A.R.S. §32-2153(A)(12), Page 61
A licensee cannot place a sign offering property for sale without written authority from the owner or owner's authorized agent.
• R4-28-502, Page 197
Real estate advertising must clearly identify the licensee's employing broker, must not be misleading, and written owner consent is required before placing a sign or electronically advertising a specific property.
•R4-28-1101(J), Page 204
A licensee may not facilitate access to someone's real property without prior written authorization from the property owner.
R4-28-1103, Pages 204-205

The hosting agent's employing/designated broker remains responsible for supervision of the agent's licensed activities, including advertising and disclosures.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

Arizona does not categorically prohibit a licensee from holding an open house on another brokerage's listing.

ADRE has specifically addressed the practice and permits it when the brokers agree, representation is clearly disclosed, the hosting agent identifies their own brokerage, proper authorization exists, and compensation rules are followed.

The hosting agent remains an agent of their own brokerage. They do not become an agent of, or represent, the listing brokerage simply by conducting the authorized open house.

Many brokerages have adopted simple forms of their agents to complete prior to this practice. As an additional safeguard I always recommend posting a sign that reads, "Agent hosting open house is not employed by, or affiliated with, listing brokerage" in a prominent place like the front door or my sign-in table, similar to the image below..

Keep in mind, not all brokerages allow this practice, many of those brokerages tell their agents that it's "illegal" when it's actually a rule or preference of that brokerage.

If you'd like me to send you a copy of the 2026 Arizona Real Estate Law Book just let me know and I'll happily forward it to you.

One open house won’t build a farm ...

What would your business look like a year from now if you hosted an open house every single Saturday?

Years ago, my friend Nate decided to make open houses his primary source of business.

During his second year in real estate, he committed to hosting a massive open house every single Saturday.

Not when he felt like it. Not just when he had his own listing.

Every Saturday.

That year, Nate sold $15 million in real estate from essentially one lead bucket: open houses.

I've never forgotten that.

Most agents treat an open house like an occasional event. I think they're far more powerful when you treat them like a business model.

Imagine choosing a geographic farm and showing up there week after week. You're meeting buyers, sellers and neighbors face-to-face while consistently building recognition in the same community.

And it doesn't have to cost a fortune.

Build partnerships with a lender and title rep who believe in what you're doing and split the marketing expense three ways.

With Open House Helpers, you could host a 25-sign open house every Saturday and your portion of the sign placement would be roughly $200 per month.

Four professionally marketed opportunities every month to meet new people and build your business for about $200.

Now ask yourself:
What would your business look like a year from now if you did that every single Saturday?

Stop treating open houses like occasional events.
Start treating them like a business model.

Laurie Marlowe has been one of our biggest advocates since day one, we genuinely can't thank her enough for her support and can't recommend her highly enough to agents looking for a great title partner!
