Open Houses

 Open Houses  

OPEN HOUSES ARE POSTED EVERY TUESDAY FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING POINTS WHEN GOING TO AN OPEN HOUSE:

 CONNECTICUT LAW REQUIRES THE AGENCY OF THE SPONSORING OPEN HOUSE (THE ONE LISTING THE   PROPERTY)  TO POST A SIGN STATING THAT THEY REPRESENT THE SELLER. IT MUST BE VISIBLE

 THE HOSTING REALTOR MAY ASK YOU TO SIGN IN ON A SHEET PROVIDED BY THEIR OFFICE. THE SIGN IN SHEET  IS  FOR SAFETY REASONS FOR BOTH REALTOR AND SELLER. READ THE SIGN -IN SHEET AS IT MAY HAVE A DISCLAIMER STATING THAT IF YOU SIGN IN YOU CAN BE CONTACTED BY THE HOSTING REALTOR. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE CONTACTED, YOU MAY WRITE THAT NEXT TO YOUR NAME THAT  YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE CONTACTED.

  BEFORE YOU SET-UP YOUR SCHEDULE FOR OPEN HOUSE VIEWING ALWAYS CHECK THE WEATHER. (LISTED BELOW). SOMETIMES OPEN HOUSES ARE CANCELLED AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN ADVERTISED. YOU MAY CALL THE  REALTOR DIRECTLY TO ASK IF SHE OR HE WILL STILL BE HOLDING THE OPEN HOUSE. IF IT IS CANCELLED MORE THAN LIKELY IT WILL BE RESCHEDULED FOR THE NEXT DAY OR THE NEXT WEEKEND.

 IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE HOME AND YOU DO NOT HAVE REPRESENTATION YOU MAY ASK THE HOSTING  REALTOR FOR INFORMATION ON AGENCY LAWS AND REPRESENTATION. THE REALTOR SHOULD HAVE A HANDOUT AT THE OPEN HOUSE EXPLAINING THAT LAW. IF THE REALTOR DOES NOT, CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE FOR INFORMATION ON AGENCY LAWS IN CONNECTICUT WHERE YOU CAN LINK DIRECTLY TO THOSE RESOURSES .
