Open House listings in Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR areas

People may attend real estate open houses even if they already have an agent for several reasons:
- Curiosity and Research: Open houses offer an opportunity for buyers to explore properties on their own and gain a better understanding of what’s available in the market. It allows them to see a variety of properties and assess their preferences and priorities. Attending open houses can help buyers refine their search criteria and provide a basis for discussion with their agent.
- Second Opinions: Buyers may attend open houses to seek a second opinion on a property they are considering. They may want to bring along family members, friends, or trusted advisors to get their perspectives and feedback. This additional input can be valuable in making an informed decision.
- Education and Market Knowledge: Open houses can be an educational experience, especially for first-time buyers or those unfamiliar with a particular area. By attending open houses, buyers can gather information about different neighborhoods, property styles, and market trends. It helps them become more knowledgeable about the local real estate market, which can be useful when discussing options with their agent.
- Comparison Shopping: Even with an agent, buyers may attend open houses to compare different properties side by side. It allows them to assess the pros and cons of each property and evaluate their value in relation to others. By attending open houses, buyers can develop a better sense of what they truly want and refine their preferences.
- Building Relationships: Attending open houses can provide an opportunity to meet and interact with real estate agents, mortgage brokers, and other industry professionals. Buyers may want to establish relationships with these professionals for future transactions or seek additional advice and guidance in their real estate journey.
It’s important for buyers attending open houses while working with an agent to be transparent about their existing representation. If they develop a serious interest in a property, they should inform their agent to ensure proper communication, representation, and negotiation on their behalf.

Melinda helped us through an extremely challenging season of the year for both selling and buying, and we were skeptical, but she reassured us and we ended up selling our house to the greatest family and purchasing a beautiful home that was beyond our expectations.

I worked with Megan when trying to purchase a home a couple of years ago. She was always very kind and professional at each listing we went to visit. She was prepared with documents and information for any questions that we might have had. I should be looking to move again soon, just need some more space, and I will be looking forward to working with her once again.

We decided to move across the country, without ever stepping foot in the town we settled on. We didn’t know a single person, and relied on a Realtor that connected with us to be our partner in every aspect of our move. Megan Storie was immediately able to jump on a call and map out our wants, needs, and logistics. She toured many homes virtually for us, worked around our busy schedule, and answered many questions, working with us to go from ‘how do we even buy a home?”, To writing several offer…

My wife and I bought our first home together in 2007 using Nathan Cano and his team at Cano Real Estate. Buying your first home can be a very exciting time, yet a very nervous time as well. Nathan took very good care of us and did everything he said he was going to. Since then, we’ve sold that home and purchased another home using Nathan and his team in 2012. Again, the process was very smooth and worry free. We currently have our home on the market using Nathan Cano, and so far, the process ha…

I have been a Realtor for 29 years and have worked with many, many Realtors in that time. I met and started working with Doc, 15 years ago. In the time I have known him, my observation has been that Doc is someone committed to his client’s best interests regardless of the size of the deal. He is honest, ethical, and an idealist. He is also good at what he does in both marketing and negotiation. In my opinion, he is one of the best Realtors you can work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Brooke Elaine for the home shopping experience. The experience was everything I was hoping for and more; she’s thoughtful, responsive, competent, and accommodating. Many times, I had questions that likely wouldn’t be solved by an agent, but she had a network of people who we could tap and/or had the means to uncovering the answers to that information that other agents may gloss over and ignore. She was a straight shooter, transparent, and never pushed me into a…
