Summary Open House Schedule
Listing Detail For Each Open House Property
Here are 7 things to remember when you attend an open house:
1) Be courteous about where you park. Don't park in front of someone else's driveway or park illegally.
2) Take a flyer at each home you go to and/or take notes on each home so that you can remember the key features, as well as any issues.
3) Note that the agent who is putting on the open house may not be the listing agent for the property. Therefore he/she may not have any info on the property aside from the basics (list price, # bedrooms, # bathrooms, etc.).
4) Be prepared whenever you go house hunting that the homeowner may require that you remove your shoes or wear booties over your shoes. If you choose to remove your shoes, try to wear shoes that are easy to put on and take off.
5) Make sure that you leave the house the way that you found it: if the back door was closed when you arrived, make sure that it is closed (if you opened it) once you leave.
6) Take special notice of the condition of the home's structure itself, not just the cosmetic features. Sometimes the open house is the only time that homeowners will allow you to see the property, so make the most of your visit if you truly like what you see.
7) If you already are working with an agent, let your agent know that you plan to attend. Perhaps they can go with you and/or provide you with some background info before you attend the open house.
Good luck and happy house hunting!
