Welcome To The

Longest Open House

Across the U.S., REALTORS® are opening their doors —and their hearts—to help end Alzheimer’s. At The Longest Open House, we turn open houses into acts of hope by raising funds and awareness for the Alzheimer's Association. Whether you're here to attend, support, or lead an event, you're part of something powerful.

How It All Started

Working towards Kyle Olson’s Longest Open House began in Fargo, ND, as one agent’s tribute to his father — a powerful reminder that “home” isn’t just a place, it’s where our memories live. What started as a local event has grown into a nationwide movement, catching the attention of the National Association of REALTORS® and inspiring agents across the country to turn their listings into something more: a force for good.

Starting in 2021 the movement is inviting REALTORS® everywhere to take part. By hosting your own Longest Day Open House, you’re not just marketing a home — you’re making a statement, raising awareness, and helping fund the fight to end Alzheimer’s.
