It isn't a public space so you can be barred from entry and, often, you'll be let into the house by a realtor. If that realtor recognizes you as abusing open houses they can just refuse you entry or take a more extreme measure.
- monocasa 6y agoI'm not sure that I would trust a realtor to recognize war driving (war showing?).
- krisoft 6y agoRealtors are there to sell houses. I wouldn’t be surprised if most of them had a keen “nose” to figure out who is just “interested” and who means real business. After all it is in their best interest to not waste their time with lookie-loos. Obviously that doesn’t mean that one can’t pretend well enough once or twice, but not at a scale where this becomes a viable avenue to criminals.
- emodendroket 6y agoHaving bought a house, I sure would be surprised. And IME if they don't think you look like you're gonna buy the house, they just let you walk around but ignore you.
- monocasa 6y agoFrom a house selling perspective it's probably in their best interest to simply ignore those people. Buyers with large pockets can come of as lackadaisical.
- emodendroket 6y agoIt also seems like it's not worth a confrontation trying to stop people from coming in, from the agent's perspective.
- cortesoft 6y agoYeah, very little gain, and a good chance to end up on social media branded as a racist or classist.
- lupire 6y agoYour speculation is contradicted by thousands of open houses every weekend. Seriously, go visit one and see what it's like. It's not the CIA Headquarters, it's usually a minimums wage newbie agent squatting in a house advertising for clients.
