I don't think people go to Open houses with the idea of sneaking out of their agents or really as the only tool of searching homes, when they find an open house most of the time is because its in a neighborhood they like or are interested and show up to see the dimensions and style inside, or they really are in the beginning stages of deciding if they want to buy a house and don't even have an agent yet. With all the technology available people don't have to see each house in person, they can really save a lot of time doing it online, but an Open house has free cookies!
