The Lundby Hill Team’s Realtor Open House: A Strategic Approach to Selling Hastings’ Premier Homes
Christy Lundby Hill’s exclusive interview with HastingsNow.com highlights the power of community and connection in the local real estate market.
This month, HastingsNow.com had the pleasure of sitting down with Christy Lundby Hill from The Lundby Hill Team of Edina Realty at their broker's open house event. The team showcased a breathtaking property located at 12171 Indian River Trail in Hastings, nestled in the scenic Nininger Township. This premier listing, priced at $995,000, offers everything you’d expect from a luxurious riverside retreat, including a dock on the Mississippi River and over two and a half acres of lush land.
But beyond the stunning home, what really stood out was the strategic and thoughtful approach The Lundby Hill Team used to draw in prospective buyers.
A Thoughtful Strategy to Attract the Right Buyers
Christy Lundby Hill emphasized that realtor open houses—also known as broker’s opens—are a fantastic way to engage local agents who may have interested buyers. The team doesn’t just rely on traditional listings—they actively cultivate relationships with other realtors. By hosting these events, they bring agents from surrounding areas to view the property and match it to potential clients.
Christy and her team extended invitations to realtors across the region, from Hudson, Wisconsin, to Edina Realty offices in Woodbury, Stillwater, and Apple Valley. They used a meticulous approach, conducting a search through the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) for waterfront properties sold or listed in the last six months, targeting homes priced over $700,000 within a 30-mile radius. This personalized outreach not only invites agents to the event but also keeps the property top of mind for future potential buyers—even if the agents can’t attend.
Why Broker's Opens Work
At these broker’s open houses, it’s more than just showcasing a home—it’s about creating a welcoming environment. Christy shared that The Lundby Hill Team always provides delicious food and a relaxed atmosphere for the agents to explore the property, ensuring they get a real feel for the home. This engagement is essential because it increases the likelihood that these agents will bring in their buyers or remember the property when the right client comes along.
For a property like 12171 Indian River Trail, this approach is crucial. By targeting agents with clients interested in high-end, waterfront homes, The Lundby Hill Team is maximizing the exposure and appeal of this luxurious listing.
A Property to Remember
This 2000-built home on the Mississippi River is a rare find, combining serene natural beauty with modern luxury. With expansive outdoor space, a private dock, and a design that complements its riverside location, it’s no surprise that this home is generating interest from across the region.
