From our client’s perspective we dive into how to think about open houses and what clients should expect when going into an open house. In today’s episode we explore the benefits and drawbacks from both the buyer’s and seller’s perspective. Offering open houses can be an effective marketing tool and often makes it easier for sellers who continue to live in the home. We think open houses are valuable but not critical for sellers. From a buyer’s perspective, open houses can be a convenient tool to view homes to determine if it’s worth a second viewing with an agent. Listing agents at open houses must fiduciarily tell you the truth about the house but they don’t work for you! We love to tour open houses with our clients and listen to our buyers describe what they love or dislike about a home. To learn more about open houses and the do’s and don’ts listen to this episode.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious, this episode is packed with practical advice and insider perspective on open houses.
