I know open houses are "open to the public" but if a house is for sale and you want to go look at it, do you have to pay a fee to the realtor who is listing the property? Or is it free to look?
Does it cost anything to view a house on the market?

No cost to look, although you generally need an agent to show you the property, and they will try and have you sign a contract with them representing you. Its more of a nuisance than anything else, but if you do wind up buying the house, they get part of the comission (which the seller pays, not the buyer).
