The “Just for the Photos” Open House Visitor (Yes, They’re Real)
Ever hosted an open house and thought, “These people aren’t here to buy—they’re here for the backsplash”? You’re not wrong.
There’s a special breed of open house visitor who isn’t comparing interest rates—they’re comparing paint swatches. Welcome to the world of the “Just for the Photos” guest. Here’s how to spot them:
• Inspiration Seekers – They’ll ooh and ahh over your wallpaper while never even glancing at the price sheet.
• Instagram Addicts – They’re staging selfies in your breakfast nook. If the lighting is good, expect a full-on mini photo shoot.
• Design Spies – Armed with their Notes app and Pinterest board, they’re collecting ideas for their own remodel… not planning to write an offer.
Open houses attract all kinds—and sometimes, the crowd is more HGTV than HOA.
What’s the most over-the-top thing you’ve seen at an open house? A disco ball in the bathroom? Someone filming a Reel from the soaking tub? Tell me—I’ve probably seen it too.
Thinking about selling your home in Auburn or Opelika, AL? You need an agent who can separate serious buyers from the design tourists. Contact me—I’ll help you navigate the real deal.
