I held an open house today at one of my listings that is located in a gated (restricted) retirement community. I know what you are thinking...Who holds an open house in a community that has restricted access? Well, the HOA in this particular community is kind enough to hold a neighborhood open house once a month. They invite all agents and homeowners who are selling their houses to hold them open and they allow the public open access to the neighborhood and lodge facilities. (9 comments)
