#34 - Is the Open House For Your Benefit or Your Realtor?

This week Tyler and Paul cover an update on rates and why the lowest rate isn't always your best option. Sometimes the benefits of choosing a slightly higher rate (like actually getting the house you want) are worth a few extra dollars per month for a few years.
From there the guys talk through an article from Tyler's new blog called 1,000 Words or So and the topic is a bit of a hot take; "Is the open house for the benefit of your sale, or is it really just to help your Realtor acquire new clients?" 
Listen in and find out.
