I wish they would have "open houses" or at least open access on a more regular basis. |
Lingering, measuring, going back and comparing, etc., with an agent wouldn't make me feel uncomfortable. A home is a major investment. Anyone buying a home should not be made to feel uncomfortable taking as much time and care as is needed to make a confident decision. Part of the agent's job, for which he or she is paid a percentage of the sales price, is to facilitate the purchase/sale. It seems that prospective home buyers would limit their options by looking only at homes that happen to be shown as an "open house" on a convenient date. Just my opinion, of course.
