So, you’ve found a few homes THAT YOU REALLY LIKE
Your customized search has unveiled several properties that align with your preferences. What’s the next step? It’s time to visit them in person, but there are a few essential considerations. In today’s competitive real estate market, there’s a significant surplus of buyers compared to available homes. Therefore, waiting to schedule a tour is not advisable. We often hear statements like, “We can’t go this weekend, but how about next Saturday?” To put it simply, if you’re willing to risk losing these homes to other eager buyers, waiting might not be in your best interest. In a hot market, well-priced, feature-rich homes tend to generate substantial interest and often receive multiple offers within days. As a result, we highly recommend arranging to see them as soon as possible! Moa of the story, If you love it so does everybody else!
What About Open Houses?
If you happen to spot an Open House sign while driving around a neighborhood you’re interested in, feel free to explore it. However, keep in mind that the agent hosting the open house may aim to secure your purchase to earn a double commission. We advise against this! Inform the agent that you already have representation and then send me a text with the property address. We will look up the property in the MLS and provide you with all the crucial “behind-the-scenes” information. Remember, the agent at the open house likely represents the sellers, making it challenging for them to advocate for your best interests during negotiations. Whose interests do they prioritize when handling an offer? Certainly not yours! If you’re considering making an offer on a property you discovered at an open house, give us a call! We’ll work tirelessly to secure the best price and terms for you. It’s too significant a purchase to take any other approach!
How I Suggest You Look At Homes You’re Interested In
There will be occasions when you realize immediately, upon arriving at a property, that it doesn’t align with your expectations. Perhaps the online photos were enticing, but the neighborhood didn’t meet your criteria. To prevent such situations, we always suggest using Google Street View to eliminate potential mismatches in advance. For the properties that genuinely pique your interest, anticipate spending 20-30 minutes at each location. Make sure to bring a notepad and a pen to jot down notes about each property. These notes, along with photos taken using your cellphone, will prove invaluable when it’s time to decide which one warrants an offer!
“Looking at Homes” Checklist
- Check Google Street Views for each property.
- Allocate 20-30 minutes per property (plus travel time between homes).
- Carry a notepad and writing utensil.
- Capture photos of each home.
- Compile a list of items requiring further information.
- If you need a second opinion, bring someone with you to evaluate the property.
