Shelly Powell+FollowWhy Sunday Open Houses Aren’t Your FriendHouse hunting hack: If you’re serious about snagging your dream home, skip the Sunday open house crowd. Sundays are like Black Friday for buyers—everyone’s there, and competition is fierce. Instead, try to tour homes on a quiet Friday or weekday when you’ll get more face time with the agent and spot details others might miss. Even better, if you love a place, don’t wait—ask your agent for a private showing and get your offer in before the weekend rush! #RealEstate #HomeBuyingTips #RealEstateHacks14Share
