Long & Foster Real Estate, will host its annual spring Open House Weekend on April 13 and 14. The event, which takes place in many of the company’s markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, will provide an opportunity for home buyers to explore many properties that are available for sale in their communities.

“At Long & Foster, we’re committed to making sure the process of buying and selling a home is as simple, easy and enjoyable as possible for our customers,” said Gary Scott, president of Long & Foster Real Estate. “Our open house weekend means that our real estate professionals can do just that—help sellers showcase their homes and help buyers shop for a house while interest rates remain low.”

During Open House Weekend, mortgage consultants from Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC, will be on site at as many Long & Foster open house locations as possible to answer questions about the mortgage process and pre-qualify interested individuals. Long & Foster Settlement Services and Long & Foster Insurance will also have representatives on hand to help buyers learn about everything from closing on their home to protecting their investment.

“Many buyers were waiting for warmer weather to shop for a home and want to take advantage of the recent dip in mortgage rates,” said Larry “Boomer” Foster, president and chief executive officer of Long & Foster Real Estate. “Open House Weekend allows consumers to learn about their local real estate market, discover what homes are available and become more informed buyers, whether they plan to buy now or just sometime in the future.”
