Frequently Asked Questions

What do I have to do to join the Open House Network Group?
Any realtor who does business in St. Louis or St. Charles counties is eligible to join. All you need to do is fill out and submit the information form on our website.

Does it cost anything to join or go on tour?

The Open House Network Group is supported by our sponsors. There is no cost to become a member or to attend the scheduled tours and activities.

What do I have to do as a member of OHNG?
The success of the Open House Network Group program depends on the participation and feedback of realtors who go on the weekly tours. We understand this requires a time commitment, and want to recognize those individuals who make the effort to regularly come and participate in the weekly tours.

Do I have to let you know if I'm going on a tour?

There is no need for you to let us know ahead of time...we'll see you at the first house!

How do I find out what listings are going to be on tour this week?

When you sign up to be a member of the Open House Network Group, you will be added to our email list. Each Monday, you will receive a schedule of the current week's tour which will include the MLS numbers of all the houses on the tour. This information will also be posted on this website under the Upcoming Tour tab.

Does it cost anything to put a listing on the tour?

No. The only cost is your time and participation in attending regular tours.

What do I have to do to get one of my listings on tour?

Fill out and submit the Submit a Listing Form on our website. Our tour coordinator will be in touch to confirm receipt and let you know when your listing has been scheduled on a tour. Please let the tour coordinator know if your seller is willing to allow lunch to be served at their home, or if there are any special needs, including pets, children, lock boxes, codes, etc.

What do I tell my sellers about it?

Let them know you belong to a tour group made up of real estate professionals, and that you are submitting their listing to be included in one of the weekly tours. They will have the opportunity to have their house toured by real estate professionals. Not only will they get great exposure, but they will also receive honest and helpful feedback that will help them better position their house for sale.

What if my listing sells before the scheduled tour?

Our tour coordinator verifies the status of the listing in MLS on the Saturday before the tour. In the event that the listing is no longer active at that time, it will not be included when finalizing the tour schedule. If the status changes between Saturday and the tour, you will need to call Brian Fricker at 636-236-1755 to let us know we need to adjust the schedule.
