Finally, an easier way to search for open houses. Kelli Martin has started a new website www.WhatcomOpenHouses.com where agents can all post their open houses. This new site has huge benefits for buyers and agents. Buyers get much more information about the property, bigger pictures and often multiple pictures, and best of all, they are organized by price and area!

Pretty much anyone who has gone to open houses has had that frustrating experience - you open the paper to the section with the open houses and proceed to look through pages and pages of ads! Each company has their own page, with their own format. Then you have to look through each individual ad to find the ones that are in the area you want and the price range that you want.  With www.WhatcomOpenHouses.com, you can choose the area, then just scroll through your price range - you don’t even have to look at the rest.

The other nice thing is that you get so much more information. Let’s face it - we’ve all looked at a classified ad or open house ad before and wondered what the heck does that abbreviation stand for? While in print each word and letter counts and costs money, on the internet, you have the freedom to explain the houses a bit more fully. This also might save you from going to see a 2 bedroom house when you know that you need a minimum of three because there is more room to describe the house.

As for agents, they benefit because posting their open houses on www.WhatcomOpenHouses.com is FREE!!!!

So far Kelli has been getting 40-50 open houses per week and it keeps growing. So check it out!
