Open houses are incredible learning experiences. They provide a chance to get familiar with different layouts (outside of pictures) and see some neighborhoods! Planning ahead makes all the difference. Here are some good open house tips for buyers:
If you end up making an offer, you’ll use the information you’ve gathered here to inform your bid, the seller’s agent will do the same. Oversharing could hurt your negotiating power as the host works for the seller, not you.
“Hello my name is…” “May we walk around upstairs?” and “Thank you for the tour” is always welcomed. If you do decide to make an offer on this home or another they represent they will remember how nice you were. They might be more likely to choose your offer or be more accepting of negotiations.
Wave to the neighbors, chat them up to get an insider’s view on what life in that community is really like — families, singles, what the vibe on the block is like, and whether the homeowner’s or condo association (if there is one) is easy to work with.
