Is going to an open house just to observe at 16 years old rude?
Hi BP,
I am only 16 years old and I plan on becoming a real estate agent/investor in the future. I’ve always had a passion for real estate and what each home has to offer. My question: Is it weird or rude for me to go to open houses just to observe? I do not want to make the agent feel uncomfortable or annoyed with me because I’m looking around with no intention of buying (obviously) but I like to know my market and I want to see some of the houses to get a good idea of how updated the homes are, and what people remodeled etc.
Thanks.
