Yes, with some exceptions. Typically, you will be able to show your visitors what the house looks like from the outside when conducting an Open House Broadcast. There are a few limiting factors, however. Connection speed over a wireless network decreases as range increases. If the house you are showing is very large or your router is not placed in a central location, you may find that your signal is too weak to continue broadcasting as you move further away from the router. We recommend that you utilize Wireless-N routers for the added data transfer speed and improved range so that you can take your viewers to any part of the property that they would like to see.Additionally, the webcam that you utilize will have an impact on whether you can show your viewers the outside of the house. If you are using a low quality webcam that does not automatically adjust for changes in lighting, you will still be able to take your viewers outside of the house, but their display will be too bright for them to see anything. We recommend that you use a high quality webcam, such as a Logitech or Creative Labs webcam with "Right Light" or "Live! View" technology to ensure you get the best picture during your Open House Broadcast.

Yes, we recommend that you do. In order to ensure that people actually attend your Open House Broadcast, it is advisable to continue advertising them. Keep in mind that unlike traditional Open Houses that have to be attended physically, an Open House Broadcast takes place entirely over the internet. To take advantage of this, every Property Description Page is given a unique URL. You could easily post a free advertisement on a site like Craigslist.org and include that unique URL. After seeing your advertisement on the internet, a prospective buyer could be watching your Open House Broadcast in only 2 clicks!
