Contact brokers. Once you've determined a theme, call brokers who might be interested in submitting work for the show. Browse through agency websites and catalogs to find listings, and ask friends and other curators for suggestions.
• 3
Locate a venue. Depending on the size of the exhibit, you can hold it in a local café, a school auditorium or in a downtown warehouse. Many agencies sponsor exhibits if one or more of their brokers have a listing in a show
• 4
Publicize the event. Make a press kit with a press release, snapshots of a few of the listings and a curator's statement about the theme of the show and some of the brokers then distribute it to local newspapers and magazines. Announce the event dates in blogs and websites.
• 5
Display the listings. Unless it's a big show in a warehouse or museum, the brokers and their friends will take care of this on their own. Supervise the installation to be sure the listing is attractively displayed.
• 6
Organize refreshments and entertainment for the opening reception. Get a store, restaurant or caterer to contribute drinks and snacks. Most restaurants will be glad to do this for a mention in your program or publicity materials.
• 7
Print postcards to send to friends, other brokers and patrons. Assemble a list of attendees of other real estate shows or subscribers to real estate magazines or alternative publications.
