Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc., the largest independent residential real estate company in the United States, will host a company-wide open house weekend on April 26 and 27. The event will provide an opportunity for home buyers across the Mid-Atlantic region to explore numerous properties that are available for sale in their communities.

“At Long & Foster, we are committed to making the home buying and selling experience the best possible for our customers,” said Gary Scott, president, Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc. “With the open house weekend, our real estate professionals do just that—helping sellers to showcase their homes and buyers to shop for a house while interest rates are low and home prices are affordable.”

To make the process even easier for potential buyers, loan officers with Prosperity Home Mortgage will be on site at as many Long & Foster open house locations as possible to answer questions and pre-qualify interested individuals. Representatives from Long & Foster Settlement Services and Long & Foster Insurance will also be in attendance at many locations, highlighting the total home ownership experience that comes with working with a Long & Foster real estate professional.

“We’re seeing positive trends in the economy in everything from the job market to consumer confidence, and those improvements have contributed to a growing real estate market,” said Jeffrey S. Detwiler, president and chief operating officer of The Long & Foster Companies. “With these positive economic developments, as well as low mortgage rates, it’s truly a great time for buyers and sellers to accomplish their home ownership dreams, and Long & Foster’s open house weekend presents an amazing opportunity to see first-hand what’s happening in your market.”
