If you happen to pass an interesting home holding an open house and you don\u2019t have your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">real estate agent<\/a> with you, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with stopping in to take a look.<\/p>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">In this Redfin article, we&#8217;ll highlight some of the best practices and tips to keep in mind if you\u2019re going to an open house without your agent. Whether you&#8217;re planning on buying a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30794\/TX\/Dallas\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">home in Dallas, TX,<\/a> or in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/5665\/MI\/Detroit\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">Detroit, MI<\/a>, here&#8217;s what to know if you&#8217;re attending an open house without your real estate agent.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-72954\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Paloma4.jpg\" alt=\"landscaped-backyard-with-patio-blue-sky\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Paloma4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Paloma4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Paloma4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Paloma4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Paloma4-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Paloma4-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Paloma4-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"heading-large margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">1. Share your agent\u2019s information with the agent hosting the open house<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">The seller will have an agent hosting the open house and guiding attendees throughout the property. Introduce yourself and let them know you&#8217;re already represented, and share your agent\u2019s information with them. Doing so will allow the agent hosting the open house to follow up with your agent later to see whether or not you will be making an offer or would like a private showing with just you and your agent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"heading-large margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">2. Avoid sharing information with the agent that could affect future negotiations<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">It\u2019s okay for the seller\u2019s agent to know you\u2019re interested in the property, but you don\u2019t want to give them the impression that you will be making an offer. Also avoid sharing other details like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/how-much-house-can-i-afford\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">how much you can afford<\/a>, why you&#8217;re moving, how quickly you wish to buy, or any other information that may affect your leverage negotiating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"heading-large margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">3. Ask questions about the property<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">Your agent can always ask the seller questions later, but if you have a question at the time, there\u2019s no reason you can\u2019t ask it of the\u00a0seller\u2019s agent. For example, you might want to know how old the roof is, or the last time the floors were refinished. There are countless <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/questions-to-ask-when-buying-a-house\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">questions to ask when buying a house<\/a>, so it&#8217;s a good idea to come back with your agent to make sure you find out the answers. But if there are questions you want answered during the tour, feel free to ask the listing agent then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-79759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Collage-Maker-12-Jan-2023-04.05-PM.jpg\" alt=\"A bright living room\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Collage-Maker-12-Jan-2023-04.05-PM.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Collage-Maker-12-Jan-2023-04.05-PM-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Collage-Maker-12-Jan-2023-04.05-PM-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Collage-Maker-12-Jan-2023-04.05-PM-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Collage-Maker-12-Jan-2023-04.05-PM-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Collage-Maker-12-Jan-2023-04.05-PM-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Collage-Maker-12-Jan-2023-04.05-PM-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"heading-large margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">4. Take notes on what you like about the home and why<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/what-to-look-for-when-buying-a-house\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">What to look for when buying a home<\/a> is going to depend on what features you&#8217;re looking for, among other things. Taking notes on things you like about the home &#8211; and why is important as you tour more homes. It will help you identify what features and aspects you want to see in future homes going forward, and it will also help you recall what you loved about the home later. Also take notes on questions you\u2019ll want to ask your agent later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"heading-large margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">5. Ask to take photos or a video while you\u2019re in the home<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">This will help you jog your memory even more in the future, and will be helpful to show your agent when explaining what you liked or didn\u2019t like about the house. It can also help if you have any concerns about the home&#8217;s condition, like possible foundational problems or pest issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"heading-large margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">If you see a house that you want to know more about, don\u2019t let the fact that your agent isn\u2019t with you stop you. Make it clear from the start you\u2019re working with an agent, ask questions about the property, and figure out what you liked or didn\u2019t like. Once you connect with your agent again, you\u2019ll have lots of valuable feedback to share with them that will improve your searching process going forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can you go to an open house without a realtor?
