Be a Part of Something BIG!
Why should BUYERS participate in Open House Weekend?
Reason #1: Open House Weekend is a great opportunity for buyers to shop for a new home from a wide selection while interest rates are still low and affordability is at an all-time high. After all, most economists say that it’s not a matter of “if” mortgage rates will go up, it’s “when.”
Reason #2: REALTORS® are opening the doors to home ownership by simplifying the househunting process to you. Open House Weekend is a time saver, because it offers buyers a way to visit a large number of homes in a short period of time.
Reason #3: This event offers buyers the chance to see NC REALTORS® in action. Open House Weekend is a fantastic way for buyers to find an approachable, knowledgeable expert that can help them navigate the home-purchasing process.
BUYERS – map out your open house route!
Why should SELLERS participate in Open House Weekend?
Reason #1: Open House Weekend is a tremendous opportunity for sellers to get their properties noticed. This event is designed to give sellers the chance to showcase their homes and, as a result, draw the attention of prospective buyers.
Reason #2: This event is a unique way for sellers to find out more about their local markets. Open House Weekend will allow sellers to see, firsthand, comparable homes for sale. This will provide insight on many other aspects of a real estate transaction, including ways to improve the marketability of their homes.
Reason #3: It’s not just potential buyers who will attend Open House Weekend, but other REALTORS®, who can provide valuable feedback on a home and its staging, will participate in the event.
