Find Boston homes you want to visit.

An open house lets you see a home’s layout, room sizes and condition in person. Start with the features you need and the areas where you would consider buying, rather than choosing a home only because an open house is advertised.

Tell our team about the rooms, usable space and other features you need. Explain which requirements are essential and where you could compromise.

Ask about the advertised date, time and any visitor requirements for the particular home. Plans can change, so confirm the details before making the trip.

If the advertised time does not work for you, ask our team about viewing options. An inquiry does not guarantee that a private showing or a particular time will be available.

Walk through the rooms and consider furniture placement, storage and separation between living and sleeping areas. Note condition questions and any changes you would want to investigate before making an offer.

Ask about systems, repairs, ongoing costs and the documents available for review. A short visit is not a substitute for the professional inspections and advice needed for a purchase.

Consider the streets around the property and the trip to the places you use regularly. Tell our team which work, transportation or other location requirements matter to your search.

If you are relocating, say when you expect to be in Boston and which areas you would like to compare. We can discuss your search without treating every nearby city as a Boston neighborhood.

Send our buying team the homes you liked, your budget and your remaining questions. Ask about the particular sale, inspections and purchase terms before deciding how to proceed.
