The spring selling and buying season is upon us, and the Long Island Board of REALTORS® (LIBOR) is celebrating by hosting the 10th Annual REALTOR® Open House Weekend this Saturday and Sunday, April 6 and 7, 2019. Join REALTORS® across Long Island, Queens and Brooklyn for the biggest Open House Weekend event of the year.  Open houses, open doors to homeownership.

The weekend is organized by the Long Island Board of REALTORS® (LIBOR) in an effort to unite Realtors® as they host thousands of open houses, while engaging consumers on the benefits of homeownership and bringing buyers and sellers together.

For homebuyers, who got a big boost to their purchasing power, thanks to the US mortgage rates biggest weekly drop in a decade; the REALTOR® Open House Weekend offers them a stress-free way to visit homes for sale in different neighborhoods where they might want to live. For sellers, the weekend provides a high-visibility effort to promote traffic and drives home sales. 

To ensure you're 100% ready for this weekend, here are a few reminders:
