Are you obliged to say that you're already working with a realtor when you go to the open house?

No not at all, you can pick whomever you want

If you haven't signed an agreement with the realtor that is sending the listings the answer is no, you don't have to from a legal perspective and that realtor is entitled to nothing. However, doing that would be unethical in my opinion and probably not in your best interest.
Why would you want to deal with the listing agent, the one who is hosting the open house? You should have your own agent that is representing your interests not those of the seller. It always baffles me when smart people call the listing agent to see a house. Why would you do that? Get your own agent and stick with them.

Charity is correct. You ALWAYS want your own agent. I buy and sell too. When I am selling nothing is more thrilling to hear then that the agent bagged me a buyer. I will get top $! They legally CAN NOT attempt to get me to sell for less then they know they can get out of the buyer.
As a buyer you have zero power in a real estate transaction w/o a good agent devoted to you.

pass with email for some thing casual and minor like a social gathering using fact that's loose for you. Snail mail is ultimate for formal bulletins, like a significant birthday (milestone, and you're inviting human beings from around the country/international), wedding ceremony, bathe, or commencement. provide human beings a cut-off date to confirm attendance. Then call people who do no longer make the cut-off date to verify they have checked their email, OR if isn't all that a lot of human beings, deliver a notice contained in direction of the mail. i think of email is your ultimate option to start with. you will understand who has no longer checked their email based upon whether or no longer they have responded one way or the different.

I always say I'm with an agent whether it's true or not . . . I invest in real estate and if you are buying you do not want an agent that's representing both parties (transaction agent). You want your own. Remember, the agent costs you nothing. It's the seller's responsibility to pay agent(s).

If the realtor sent you the info on that particular property, yes you do, since he or she would be entitled to a portion of the total commission if you buy it.
