Open houses still have a place in real estate in 2026 — but they need to be intentional. 🏡

After years of hosting them, I’ve learned that simply opening the doors for two or three hours isn’t always the best strategy. Once an open house goes public, anyone can walk through your seller’s home, including plenty of people who have no intention—or ability—to purchase it.

We still hold open houses, but we go in with a game plan. Shorter windows. Strategic timing. Creating urgency instead of just leaving the doors open all afternoon.

And one thing I’ve learned over the years: pay close attention to the buyers who can’t make the open house and request a private showing. Those appointments can be some of the most important opportunities of the entire weekend.

Open houses aren’t dead. They just need a purpose.

One of the biggest misconceptions buyers have in today’s market is this: “If a home has been sitting for a few weeks, something must be wrong with it.” And honestly, that’s not always true. In fact, some of the best...

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to choosing a mortgage lender. 🏡

There are mortgage companies that specialize specifically in home financing, local credit unions that offer a more personal approach, and large corporate banks with a wide range of lending programs.

At the end of the day, it’s about comparing your options and choosing the lender you feel most comfortable and confident working with throughout the process.

The right lender isn’t necessarily the biggest name—it’s the one that best fits you and your goals.
