if this is your first time to my channel
please subscribe and don't forget to
click on the bell so that you'll be
notified as soon as i upload a new video
i regularly upload videos about real
estate for buyers sellers tenants as
well as estate planning and programs
open houses are a great opportunity to
view homes on the market without having
to worry about coordinating multiple
schedules with an open house they're
scheduled for a set number of hours and
you won't have to coordinate with the
listing agent schedule the homeowners if
they live there the tenants if they live
there if you're at the very beginning
stages of your housing search and you
haven't gotten your pre-approval yet
then an open house is a great way to
take a look at what's on the market what
the different price points are and what
you would get for that price in your
area let's take a look at zillow.com and
i'm going to walk you through locating
the open houses in order to find open
houses on zillow the first thing you
need to do obviously is go to zillow.com
you'll notice that it auto-populated for
me and that is because i do pop into
zillow.com from time to time even though
i am a licensed real estate professional
i go above and beyond for my clients and
especially in this market that means i
have to go to alternative sources to
find properties for my clients and
zillow is one of them i come here
primarily to take a look at for sale by
owners which are not listed on the
multiple listing service and in case you
are not aware the mls is where agents
post properties that are available um we
also update our properties on the mls so
for sale by owners you jump into zulo if
you want to take a look at that and if
you are interested in learning how to
find the for sale by owners on
zillow.com take a look at this video
where i provided a breakdown similar to
what we're going to do right now the
first thing you're going to do once you
are on duo.com is you are going to type
in your location you can put a city a
neighborhood within a city a state a zip
code you can also if you wanted to
actually
draw a map draw the boundaries of the
area you're interested in so let's say
you're specifically interested in i'm in
south florida um on the east coast so
sometimes i get clients that just want
to live within you know a one mile
radius from the beach so in that
situation then yes you would definitely
want to draw the boundaries i'm not
going to get into the boundary i want to
keep this very simple so for
simplicity's sake we're just going to
type in pompano beach florida which is
where i am located so this is your
zillow dashboard and what you are going
to do is first and foremost if you had
any sort of parameters that you wanted
to limit or restrict your search to i
would recommend that you put them in
here so let's play around and let's just
say you have a max price point of five
hundred thousand dollars
and you also have a minimum of i don't
know let's just pick a hundred thousand
okay you're gonna click done you're
looking for two bedrooms maybe
one and a half baths and that's all i'm
going to do because i want to make sure
we actually have some options that pop
up in this search so now you're going to
click on more
once you go into more you want to go
under tours and you want to make sure
that you check must have open house
you're going to go down to the bottom
and click on done
as you can see we have zero agent
listings that meet my parameters where
we're going to have an open house coming
soon if you click on other listings
you'll see some of the other
opportunities in this instance we have a
for sale by owner with an open house on
may 15
from 1 to 4 p.m and we also have an open
house this coming sunday
from 1 to 3. i want to show you
[Music]
if we remove the filters
just want to see if that gives us any
more options and let's also remove
the price
range
there you go so now that i've removed
those filters you'll see there are four
agent listings with open houses coming
up shortly there's one on saturday from
12 to 1 another one on saturday from 11
to 1
and 11 to 1 and 9 to 1.
i also wanted to point out if you scroll
down a little bit more you will notice
that there are more open houses that are
not in pompano beach florida the city we
selected but in neighboring areas so it
provides you with more of an extended
search and here it tells you results
within one mile if you wanted to
move a little bit further out you
certainly can
you would simply
slide your map a little bit using your
mouse
and it'll show you the upcoming open
houses in that new location if you would
like to schedule a real estate

estate goals please feel free to click
