A Lasting Legacy Of The Longest Open House
About Our Events
Founded by Kyle Olson, the ‘Longest Open House’ redefines the traditional open house, transforming it into a record-breaking annual fundraiser for Alzheimer’s research. After losing his Father to Alzheimer’s, he wanted to find a way to blend Real Estate and Community with hope of a cure for this terrible disease. Starting with a 62-hour event in 2021 and growing each year, Kyle’s initiative aims to make a bigger impact in 2024 by expanding to 6+ cities and raising $30,000. This is where the real estate community comes together to not only sell houses but also to stand in solidarity against Alzheimer’s, setting new world records along the way.
Kyle has recently been recognized by the National Association of Realtors for his Longest Open House event. As a result, Kyle is expanding his initiative nationwide by inspiring Realtors throughout the nation hosting Longest Day open houses in 10 of communities across the country. As Olson takes his initiative nationwide, the event serves as a beacon of hope and support for the Alzheimer’s community. Join him in making a difference and working towards a world without Alzheimer’s and related dementias
