What is the true purpose of an Open House?

The best-kept secrets in the real estate business
You can imagine if a seller knew about why an Open House was conducted at their home when trying to sell?

It belongs to us. Where is your allegiance?” As I write t

To me, and probably to you, this “dirty little secret” has never been a secret. The sham of the open house is a topic I’ve written about for years. It even occupies a section in many books.
