What To Ask Your Realtor

Sounds simple, right?  But so many times, questions go unasked.  And in Real Estate, there’s never a bad or wrong question and there’s too much at stake to NOT ask that question. 

Ever heard the phrase, “The only stupid question is the one you don’t ask”?  While there are many versions of this quote, they all mean the same thing – ASK THE QUESTION!  

This is never more true than in real estate.  Whether you are a first-time home buyer or a seasoned veteran, you need to ask questions.  And your Realtor is ALWAYS happy to answer them! There are any number of questions you might have and they will be different depending on the circumstances.  Your Realtor is an experienced professional and has the ANSWERS YOU NEED!  

This link will give you a good overview of working with a real estate agent:

and here are just a few of the most common questions a potential buyer might have:

Q: Can I buy a home and sell my current one at the same time?

Q: How many homes should I see before making an offer?

Q: What do you think the seller will accept as a fair price?

Q: How do I know if the property is a good deal?

Q: How quickly can I close?

Q: Should I get a home inspection?

Q: When can I back out if I change my mind?
