buying a new home: Now that I Have A Realtor, Can I Still Visit Open Houses? - 01/09/11 09:27 AM
Dear Holly,
My wife and I have often spent our Sundays visiting local open houses. We have learned a lot about what we are looking for in our first home from these visits. Last week we signed a Buyer Agency Agreement so that we would have representation as we buy our first house.
Our question is this: Can we still visit Open Houses sponsored by other Realtors®?

Are you looking for a great house or a great neighborhood?
