SOUTH PORTLAND — To help buyers and sellers make sensible decisions, the Maine Association of Realtors is hosting Maine Open House Weekend on May 2-3.
“This special event offers sellers an excellent opportunity to showcase their homes, and provides buyers with a wealth of tours, information and education to make a sensible home decision. If you are in the market to sell your home, this is the ideal event to capture maximum buyer attention,” said Marie Flaherty, 2015 president of the Maine Association of Realtors.
Contact a local Realtor to schedule your open house for May 2-3.
