STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Many local home shoppers marked April 26 and 27 by taking advantage of the Staten Island Board of Realtors’ (SIBOR) Open House Weekend.
“This two day event gave buyers a terrific opportunity to enhance the experience of shopping for their perfect home,” said Laird Klein, president of SIBOR. “This is a perfect time to thank the Realtors of Staten Island for doing such a magnificent job of launching the spring home-buying season by presenting some 200 open houses to home buyers throughout the borough.”
In the past, as much as 45 percent of all home buyers in the nation used an “open house” as a source in their home search process. Realtors were on hand during the recent Island event to answer questions about the local housing market and the buying-and-selling process.
Home buyers had the opportunity to meet their new potential neighbors and learn a little more about the community and housing opportunities available to them.
