Oct. 12, 2007 - QUESTIONS TO ASK HOMEBUYERS
Important Questions to Ask Home Buyers.
According to the webstats on my website, these questions are a top 10 most visited page. Realtors know them, but it will help
homebuyers to be prepared to answer them to better help their buyers agent.
* Are you a cash buyer, are you going to get a mortgage or pay for it by some other method?
* Do you have to sell another home before buying? If so, many home sellers will either reject an offer based
on this or only allow a short period of time to place it under agreement.
* Are you pre-approved by a bank? It's very important to do as before you begin your new home search to know
what you can afford and because many home sellers will only work with pre-approved home buyers.
If not, I'll be happy to suggest several local lenders for you to contact? Local lenders are preferable to off-cape banks for
several reasons. There is lots of competition here and they work hard to get the business and earn your recommendations for
future potential customers. They know the area well,
it's values, and the best people to choose for various things like appraisers, attorneys, etc.
* What is your time frame for buying a home? Is it under 3 months, less than a year, or no hurry?
* What price range do you want to work within?
* Describe what you are looking for in a home? A brief description followed by some specifics
such as style, size, age, no. of bedrooms and baths, location or area, neighborhood.
* Have you been looking for a while or are you just starting to look?
* Are you familiar with the Falmouth area?
* Would you like a map? If so, please let me know and I'll mail one.
* Are you working with any other realtors? - DAVID
