Record number of open houses to be conducted

Homebuyers can take advantage of a special opportunity April 27, when Howard Hanna Real Estate Services conducts a record-setting 2,008 open houses in one day.

In addition, one lucky participant in the company's 2008 Open House Extravaganza will win $2008 toward closing costs on a home purchase.

The winner must purchase his or her home through a Howard Hanna Sales Associate, finance through Howard Hanna Mortgage, and close with Barristers Land Abstract or its affiliate.

Entries for the contest will be available at each open house location.

"We are providing an outstanding opportunity for those who are seeking a home to explore the variety of different listings that are available to them," said Howard W. "Hoby" Hanna IV, President, Howard Hanna Smythe Cramer. "Our company plans to bring as many buyers and sellers together as possible within the convenience of one afternoon to create a win-win situation."

The company's REALTORS® will have at least two of their listings open for buyers on that day, maximizing the number of open houses the company typically conducts on a Sunday.
