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.
