What is the first thing you do when looking to buy a home or move to a new neighborhood?

Exactly... you go looking at Open Houses in that area, we all do it, right?

Chicagoopenhouse.net is the most comprehensive website for open house listings in Chicago.
It was developed when one of the founders, was helping his "much better half" look for her first condo in downtown Chicago.

They tired of registering for various real estate sponsored websites when in return they received only partial listings. The same could be said for various newspapers both in print and online. In all cases open house listings were extremely disorganized and lacking in detail.

Many of the websites and newspapers failed to let you know when a house was off the market or if a time had been changed. They became quickly discouraged and found themselves a Realtor.

Not a bad thing of course but now they felt some form of obligation. Not really what they wanted, they just wanted to look around with no strings attached.

While over at their friends house one evening, "the much better half" was trying to look up a house we had seen that day and was frustrated, saying something to the effect of "I wish there was just one website I could go to for open houses in Chicago!" He looked over at his buddy, instantly knowing what the other was thinking and chicagoopenhouse.net was born.

At Chicagoopenhouse.net our philosophy is simple! For the prospective buyers this website will show you every open house for the upcoming weekend, we require no registration, unless of course you wish to receive email alerts and start a favorites page! How can we provide such a complete listing? Simple! You will only see 2 types of listings, paid for and free! The free listing will show address, price and date of open house.

The paid listing will have pictures, in detail room sizes and descriptions entered by the sellers themselves.
We charge a nominal fee so as this site grows you are sure to see more details on more homes every time you visit us.

Chicaoopenhouse.net will continue to list the open house as a home for sale even when an open house is not scheduled, so you can search for homes either way. We have also incorporated rentals into the website and as the maps are powered by Google you are able to check out restaurants, schools and gyms close by.

The benefits for the seller we believe are self explanatory, but click on "list my home" to see how easy the process is! We hope you find our website helpful and that we have taken some of the frustration out of looking for a home.

Whatever you are looking for we wish you good and hope you agree that www.chicagoopenhouse.net is your best resource for doing so!

Thanks for visiting us, your comments and ideas are always welcome!
