Visiting a Flagstaff Open House? You Don’t Need a Contract to Look!

Walking into an open house can be exciting. You get to see a beautiful home, imagine your life there, and explore without feeling rushed. But you might have a question on your mind: “Do I need a real estate agent with me to see an open house?”

The simple answer is no.

An open house is just what it sounds like—it’s open to the public! You can visit an open house and walk right in. You do not need to sign any special contract or agreement with the agent at the front door just to look around. It’s a great way to get a feel for the neighborhood and see what kind of homes are for sale in Flagstaff.

So, Why Should You Hire a Real Estate Agent?

While you don’t need an agent to visit an open house, having a professional on your side is the smartest way to buy a home. Think of it this way: the agent hosting the open house works for the person selling the home. Their job is to get the best deal for the seller.

When you hire your own real estate agent, they work only for you. They will:

• Be on your team. They have your best interests at heart, not the seller’s.
• Negotiate for you. They can help you make a strong offer and get the best price.
• Find all the homes. They have access to all homes on the market, not just the open houses.

The Right Help for Your Flagstaff Home Search

Once you decide you’re serious about buying, you can sign a buyer-broker agreement with your agent. This is a simple contract that says they will work for you. It also helps to formalize how your agent will get paid.

Most of the time, the seller of the home pays the commissions for both agents. This means you get to work with an expert on your side without having to pay them directly out of your pocket.

When you’re ready to buy a home, whether you’ve found it at an open house or a private showing, your personal agent is there to guide you. From writing the offer to closing the deal, they are your expert every step of the way.
