General Open House Food Tips

Remember, you’re a real estate salesperson. Not a chef. You’re there to sell a home, not to show off your cooking skills. Don’t spend so much time cooking that you fail to call contacts, prospect and market to people. Eyes on the prize.

• Avoid common allergens. Just 8 foods account for 90 percent of all food allergies in the U.S. Many of these are common mainly to children. Here are the most common allergens:
  • Eggs (Deviled eggs notwithstanding!)
  • Fish
  • Milk
  • Tree nuts (like hazelnuts, almonds and Brazil nuts)
  • Peanuts
  • Shellfish
  • Soy
  • Wheat
• Avoid greasy foods or anything that leaves a residue on the fingers. It has a tendency to wind up on walls, furniture, doors and glass.
• Skewers are handy, and make open house food easy to prepare and serve.
• Avoid sauces and gravies, which can drip all over the place. Instead, consider marinating meats before cooking and serving.
• Take it easy on the spices. You’re cooking for the masses
