For those interested in participating in the second annual REALTOR® Nationwide Open House, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, June 4-5, the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS® will be providing resources to assist you with promotion of the event.

The Nationwide Open House is an optional program designed to encourage brokers and agents to participate in hosting open houses at selected listings of their choice.  In addition to New Hampshire, roughly 25 other states are participating, as well as many local boards throughout the country.

NHAR has contacted daily newspapers throughout the state (see below), and most have indicated that they are willing to run a coordinated ad campaign, many at discounted rates, in the week leading up to the event.  Anyone who has particular listings that will be included as part of the campaign is encouraged to contact the papers below and have those listings included.
