If you must bring children to an open house, bring a spouse, partner, or friend with you. That way, one adult can take the kids outside to check out the yard and the neighborhood while the other focuses on the house. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and we know that a good strategy is to look at a few properties in the morning and take a break to go have lunch, or break it up into a couple of days. That way, the kids—whether they’re young or they’re teenagers—don’t feel like this is the never-ending day. Involving children in the decision in some fashion can help them feel a sense of control and ownership during the moving process. But you don’t need to solicit advice on every little detail of the home, which can cause children to feel rejected if their requests aren’t met. You also don’t want them to get attached to a home that you’re not going to buy. It’s better to be clear about the reasons for relocating and what to expect during this process.

Ultimately, you’re the ones making the buying decision—and also the best judge of your children and what they can handle. If including them in the home search and an open house suits your family’s dynamics—or if you’re in a pinch and have to bring the children as company—just be sure that young ones recognize that they’re visiting someplace special.
