PRO TIPS FOR OPEN HOUSE VISITORS
If you're casually looking:
Don't feel pressured to sign in or share your contact info but do be polite
Ask about days on market, recent price changes, and seller motivation
Take photos (with permission) to compare homes later
Notice the little things: cabinet quality, flooring condition, natural light
If you're seriously shopping:
Bring a pre-approval letter (shows you're a real buyer)
Ask about inspection reports, recent upgrades, HOA rules
Don't be afraid to open cabinets, test faucets, or ask tough questions
Follow up within 24 hours if you're interested. Good homes move fast
If you just want to see what's out there:
That's totally fine. Open houses are public. Use them to educate yourself on current pricing, neighborhood amenities, and what your budget actually gets you.
WANT A PRIVATE SHOWING?
Open houses are convenient, but they're also crowded and rushed. If you see something interesting this weekend and want to come back for a quieter, more detailed tour, just reach out.
I can schedule private showings where you can take your time, ask questions without a line of people behind you, and really evaluate whether a home fits your needs.
Comment TOUR if you want help scheduling a private showing for any of these properties or others you've been watching.
