Open houses open doors to buying opportunities! So what could be better than a weekend full of open houses, encouraging people to tour homes and learn more about the benefits of home ownership. That’s the promise of the 2011 REALTOR® Nationwide Open House Weekend. Plan to be a part of the action, hosted by participating state and local REALTOR® associations on Saturday and Sunday,  June 4-5.  The Nationwide Open House Weekend offers buyers a stress-free way to visit homes for sale in different neighborhoods where they might want to live.

 

The event was inspired by a state-wide open house held two years ago by the Washington Association of REALTORS®. Impressed by its effectiveness, REALTORS® expressed interest in taking it nationwide. About 60 percent of state and local associations responded in 2010 by holding the first nationwide open house event. 2011 will dramatically expand the campaign, with even greater numbers expected to participate.

 

It’s a great opportunity to see what’s out there, see what sellers are doing to be ready for sale, find a home for your friends that are interested in the area, or perhaps get some good ideas to think about for your home. Whatever the reason…go out and have some fun poking around.
