Buying a house can feel super overwhelming!
⠀
You’re making a HUGE financial decision, and sometimes you’ve got about 15 minutes during an open house or a viewing to decide if you’re going to put in that first offer.
⠀
That’s why, when I’m showing my clients around, I always tell them to take their time checking out the place and deciding if it really suits them. While they do that, I’m on a mission to make sure we don’t miss out on asking some really IMPORTANT QUESTIONS like:
⠀
Logistics Stuff:
- Why’s the owner selling?
- When is the current owner moving out?
- How long has this place been up for sale?
- Are there other offers on the table for this place?
⠀
Property Stuff: - Did the seller do any big renovations?
- How old is the heating/cooling stuff? Is it still in good shape?
- Was there ever a major problem?
- Is the sewer doing its job?
- Has there been any water issues or damage?
⠀
Local Stuff: - What are the property taxes looking like?
- What kinda public stuff is around here?
- How are the schools in this area? (even if you’re not planning on kids, this affects resale!)
⠀
Extra Tip: Don’t let the fancy decorations fool you! Remember, you’re not buying that super cool sofa you saw. What you’re really buying are the basics – the foundation, the layout, and the structure.
⠀
Keep this info handy, just in case you’re off to check out some open houses soon. And remember, you can always give me a call or shoot me a text anytime you need help!
