Open Houses Sell Properties
Open houses have long been proven effective in buying and selling homes. Open houses, especially in the first few weeks when the home is on the market, make it convenient for the buyers to come and see the house without an appointment. With the holidays approaching, more home buyers are taking time off work to visit open houses. Buyers can see so many more homes in less time.

With more people searching for homes via the Internet, buyers are now walking into open houses knowing about the property’s neighborhood and schools. Many buyers are seeking open houses because they are ready to draw up a contract, especially in a high-demand market like Miami.

MIAMI offers its members many services to enhance their open houses. MIAMI products & services available: http://www.miamirealtors.com/services. In addition, MIAMI has held RPR open houses tips & tricks, iUSE photography and Property Panorama courses and webinars.
