Long & Foster Real Estate, the largest independent residential real estate company in the United States, will host a company-wide open house weekend on April 18 and 19. 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 sure the process of buying and selling a home is the best possible experience for our customers,” said Gary Scott and Boomer Foster, presidents 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.”

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 about the mortgage process 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.

“In recent weeks and months, we’ve seen some positive trends happening in the economy, from consumer confidence to the 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 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.”
