In this episode of the Brian Icenhower Podcast, we explore how real estate agents and teams can turn longer listing periods into powerful lead generation opportunities by running open houses the right way.
Brian Icenhower explains why every listing should have at least two open houses—ideally in the first two weeks of hitting the market—and how top teams leverage this system not just to sell homes, but to generate more listings, build their database, and establish a reputation for hustle and professionalism.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why open houses are most effective during the “Miracle Month” (first 30 days on market)
✅ How to set team-wide standards (2 open houses per listing) and track them with dashboards
✅ Why proactive admin support is critical to maximizing open house coverage
✅ Conversion strategies that turn open house visitors into listing eAlert subscribers
✅ How to use open houses to attract sellers, not just buyers
✅ Scripts, systems, and client service approaches that separate top producers from casual agents
Brian also shares how open houses fuel lead generation, team accountability, and market dominance, especially in spring and summer when traffic is high. With the right systems in place, every listing becomes a magnet for more opportunities.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
