FAQ

Common Questions About Open Houses in Surrey

Do I need a realtor to attend an open house?

No. Open houses are open to everyone. You can attend without a realtor, but if you decide to make an offer, it is recommended to work with your own buyer's agent for representation.

What should I look for at an open house?

Look beyond the staging — check ceiling height, natural light, storage space, and noise levels. Test water pressure if possible. Look for signs of water damage, cracks in the foundation, and the age of major systems (roof, furnace, windows).

When are most open houses in Surrey?

Most open houses in Surrey are held on Saturdays and Sundays from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Some agents also hold mid-week open houses, particularly for condos in City Centre during lunch hours.
