NATCHEZ — To reinforce the importance of the spring home buying season, Coldwell Banker Stewart Realty will participate in May’s Coldwell Banker Open House Month. Coldwell Banker Stewart Realty expects to host many open houses during the month.

As part of Open House Month, Coldwell Banker will partner with Drexel Heritage to host an “Open House Month” sweepstakes throughout May. Consumers merely need to log on to coldwellbanker.com to register to win. Four weekly winners each will receive $5,000 in Drexel Heritage furniture, while the grand-prize winner will receive $20,000 in Drexel Heritage furniture and a free consultation with an interior designer.

“Open houses are a great way to increase exposure of a home for sale, and for buyers to get a good sense of what’s on the market,” said Butch Stewart, owner/broker of Coldwell Banker Stewart Realty.

“For newly listed homes and those that need a marketing boost, open houses attract potential buyers in a short amount of time.”
