Kids’ rooms and playrooms are usually piled high with toys, storybooks, and just about anything that triggers their creativity.

Far too many buyers and sellers hire the very first real estate agent they contact. But real estate transactions are a big deal, and you deserve the best possible representation. Before you choose your real estate agent, invest some time in researching multiple agents and finding the agent that best suits you.

Let’s look at the pros and cons of open houses so you can decide for yourself if an open house should be part of your marketing plan.
Pros:
Exposure
Holding an open house provides exposure for your listing. Your real estate agent will advertise the open house on real estate websites, on social media, in industry networks, and perhaps even in print.
