Studies show that approximately 90% of all home buyers now search the internet as the first step in buying a new home. Technology makes it incredibly easy to get a virtual look at  Active listings, saving everyone a lot of time and energy. I suspect, however, that a large majority of those who search online and then visit homes in person, will tell you that there is no substitute for seeing the real thing “live”. Whether by intention or not, the photos you see online can be very deceiving. Sometimes they make the home look better than it does in person and sometimes they do not do the home justice. So despite all the advantages of online searches, Open House events remain popular, particularly for those who are still not ready to choose a buyer’s agent just yet.

This is the place to access a list of all public Open House events entered in the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (aka the MLS).

On Sunday, March 4th, from 11A-1P I will be holding open my own listing, a fabulous 1-bedroom condo on West Seattle’s Beach Drive. Here’s where to go for photos and details: www.SingleMindedRealEstate.com/321982. Come visit me at 4004 Beach Dr. SW, then walk across the street to access the public beach through Andover Park or stroll on down to Me-Kwa-Mooks park. So much to see, so much to do.

As usual, I will be giving away coupons for a free ice cream cone at West Seattle’s own Husky Deli.
