The purpose of an open house is to allow potential buyers the opportunity to see an available home without any commitment. That means if you don’t have an agent or just want to see the home on your own, you can!
On the other hand, visiting with a real estate agent can help you figure out what’s important about the home. They can also discuss real estate market trends to be aware of or ways to improve an offer, both of which can be especially beneficial for first-time home buyers.
