[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We always go to open houses in the neighborhood but we tell the agent upfront that we’re neighbors and just looky-loos. Then we make ourselves scarce. Many houses are similar to ours and I’ve gotten some good design ideas. [/quote]

This is us too.  I am always trying to see what they did in a certain closet or what bathroom remodel choices work and don't work.  We don't take up the agents time and just quietly move through checking it out.

How is opening a closet violating someone's privacy? They are selling that closet, so it will be inspected.  Clean it out if you don't want people to look inside during the open house!

Agents invite neighbors because in general the more eyes on a house, the better.  People talk and that is good for business.[/quote]

Check the medicine cabinets too. It's always good to see how someone else is organizing their medications.[/quote]

I know this is snark - but honestly medication and other sensitive items need to be removed before you allow the public into your home. Even better if you move all your sh*t out beforehand. Who cares if they are neighbors or not - it’s called an OPEN house and you have zero control over who stops by. OP you sound rigid and out of touch with how open houses work..[/quote]
