Baltimore Open House
Why visit open houses?
Baltimore Open Houses are a good way to get to know a know neighborhood and become familiar with various styles homes. For people relocating to Baltimore it's a great idea as well.
What will happen at an open house?
Typically, the sellers agent, or another agent that represents the seller, is inside the property. This agent at theBaltimore Open House will have you sign in and allow you to walk through the property.
What do I before visiting the open house
Before visiting open houses meet with your own REALTOR and get preapproved. In Maryland the agent holding the house open represents the seller. To make your home search the most productive, getting preapproved will allow a buyer to know what price to stay in. With so many buyers looking in limited inventory of baltimore homes for sale getting preapproved will put a buyer in a position to write an offer immediately instead of waiting until the week day to get preapproved and miss the house.
It's important to know the home buying process before beginning to burn fuel. If one doesn't know how much is needed, how much the monthly mortgage payment is and what closing costs are, it can be very frustrating.
Can I schedule my own showing?
Yes! Meet with your REALTOR. Having a buyer consultation with your REALTOR can help narrow down homes only to few that actually meet your needs. With your preapproval in hand and ready to go, scheduling appointments at a date and time that meets your needs is key. Be sure to give a enough notice for showings. Sometimes there are restrictions the seller has put forth such as 24-48 hour notice and must be approved prior to visit.
What do I do now?
Contact your REALTOR and schedule an appointment to meet in the office. Your REALTOR will help you with financing. As a buyer, once your preapproved, and have your consultation, you should see your perfect home in 5-7 home previews or less.
