Open Houses in Dothan, Alabama

Today is the biggest paper of the week. My favorite section has always been the real estate section. You can find anything you need-rentals, apartments, mortgage companies, and most important Dothan real estate. The fun part is checking out the open houses. Open Houses usually happen between 2 and 4 on Sunday afternoon. Every once in a while someone will start at 1:00, but it's always in the afternoon after church.

Open house is a great time to view homes own your own. You don't have to make an appointment or take off work to look at a house. Look and see which homes peak your interest and plan your route. Remember, gas has come down a little, but efficiency with time is always a good thing. Go to each house, sign in, look at it, eat goodies if they are available, and get a flyer. When you get back in the car write down your likes and dislikes. Put the date on the flyer and put it in a file. You might not see much at first, but later on it might come back to your mind and you will have the info at your fingertips.

One very important fact to remember is the host agent wants your business. There are 2 ways they want your business. Number one-they want to sell you the house themselves or number two-they want to sell it to you through another agent. The most important thing is that the house sells. If you are working with another agent, please inform the host. Do not falsely lead them to think you will work with them. Don't worry they will answer all your questions. The main point is to be faithful to your real estate agent.

Our day will not be so hot, so plan to get out and shop for a house. House hunting is so much fun!

Happy Hunting!
