I want people to feel comfortable and not pressured while looking at the house, so I was thinking about holding my own Open House. Maybe that makes people more uncomfortable having the owner there? I have a realtor though, so I don’t know if this is ok to do? Also, I don’t want nosy neighbors coming in and I can prevent this if I’m the one holding the Open House.
Can I hold my own Open House instead of my realtor doing it?

Actually people feel much more uncomfortable with the owner around. It makes the experience much more "viewing their house" then "is this my house". Your Realtor will have a much better chance of helping people visualize this as their home instead of yours.
I always feel very noisy when the owners are around and try to get out of there ASAP.
