Spring is officially here! Not only are you seeing the signs of Spring with the daffodils and flowering trees blooming, but you definitely see an increase in the number of open houses on the weekend. Open houses can be a positive - and some say, vital - part of marketing a home for sale. When I first began my real estate career, I will admit, I thought (and sometimes, occasionally do) that open houses are ineffective. But, as a proceeded in my career I found out not only be effective but I found out I can actually sell homes! (1 comments)
