Does having an open house attract more buyers?

Asked Sat Sep 22 2007, 14:18 by Jan - 60432 - Home Selling - 46 answers

Richard Irish answered:

Greg
Very good answers. We worked with a Buyer's agent to sell our home and everything went very smoothly, including the closing. It was easier than cutting cake.

A friend of ours tried to sell his home FSBO and had numerous open houses.....many lookers but not one single offer. - Sat Jun 14 2008, 07:46

I've never gone to an Open House and gotten excited about a home. Just went to one last Sunday and I was turned off by much of what I saw, including two dogs in a large cage back near the laundry/utility room. The Seller should have removed the dogs before having an Open House.

as a Buyer I search the internet trying to pick out homes which I believe have potential to satisfy my criteria. After I get a few of them picked out, then I make an appt to see them. - Thu Oct 11 2007, 09:23

Richard Irish answered:

I have never and I mean never had anyone from Cathy Russell Realty 'argue' with me. On the contrary. They have always been very polite and professional. I also like the way they are so well tuned in with the internet and use it quite effectively. As far as I am concerned, internet advertising and communication is the best thing since mother's apple pie. - Tue Feb 26 2008, 16:12

Richard Irish answered:

I agree that a good Buyer's realtor can earn his 'keep'. However, he/she must be good and also at all times loyal to his Principal (Mr Buyer).

However, when a Buyer's realtor ignores clear instructions from the Buyer and ends up working with the Seller's agent to just force a closing despite things not being properly taken care of under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, then that realtor becomes a Buyer's disaster. - Thu Aug 16 2007, 09:23

I fully agree with your comments. I have a friend who recently advertised and sold his home using Craig's List and it was absolutely 'free'. - Wed Aug 15 2007, 11:58

true that the Seller is the party normally paying the commission unless otherwise agreed. one thing that has to be clarified and that is a Buyer's realtor must always remain loyal to the Buyer's interest and listen to the Buyer. one of the worst situations a Buyer can encounter is where Buyer's realtor and Seller's realtor collaborate to push the Buyer into a closing where Buyer has legitimate unresolved matters such as title problems, encroachment and related problems. - Wed Aug 15 2007, 11:44

a slight spin on this question: what should happen when a Buyer's agent originally promises to reduce his standard commission and then later reneges or denies it? - Wed Aug 15 2007, 08:41

if a Buyer finds a home and then asks a Buyer's realtor to prepare and submit a written Offer to Purchase it, I see no valid reason why that realtor would not agree to a reduction of the standard share of his commission. - Wed Aug 15 2007, 08:27
