Blue Springs in Kennesaw | Open House Risks Explained | Is Lease-Purchase Still Possible?

Should you host an open house—or are you opening yourself up to unnecessary risk? In today’s episode of Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we break down one of the most common dilemmas sellers face while spotlighting a standout Metro Atlanta neighborhood.

I’m Cleve Gaddis, REALTOR® and host of the show, and here’s what we’re covering this week:

1. Neighborhood Spotlight: Blue Springs in Kennesaw

Located in Cobb County, Blue Springs offers swim/tennis amenities, convenient access to US-41 and I-75, and a mix of well-maintained homes that attract both first-time buyers and move-up families.
We’ll look at:
• Average home prices
• Market activity
• Neighborhood features
• Why Kennesaw continues to draw strong demand

2. Listener Question: “Is an Open House Worth the Risk?”

Henry and Joyce from Johns Creek ask an honest question many high-end homeowners face:
“Our home is full of expensive, breakable items. Should we allow an open house?”

We’ll walk through:
• The real risks of open houses (theft, damage, high foot traffic)
• What items to secure or remove
• When open houses actually work
• When private showings are a better strategy
• How to protect your property if you decide to move forward

Open houses can be effective—but they’re not the right tool for every home.

3. Lease Purchase—Is It Still an Option Today?

Lease-purchase programs were once common, then nearly disappeared, and are now resurfacing in specific price ranges.
We’ll cover:
• How lease-purchase agreements work
• Who benefits most (and who should avoid them)
• Pitfalls to watch out for
• Why certain buyers are considering them again in today’s interest-rate environment

Whether you’re a buyer trying to ease into ownership or a seller looking for creative strategies, we’ll explain how lease-purchase options fit into today’s market landscape.
