I suspect those that feel it is a waste of time aren't taking the necessary steps in preparation to have a successful one, or going in with a positive mindset.Of course, it is up to the Seller if they request that you conduct one... and I almost always recommend at least one public one, in addition to one for agents. The main objective for having an open house … (6 comments)
