Pullman WA Buyers: Ask A Thousand Questions! (edit/delete)

The process of buying a home is stressful, overwhelming and sometimes, long.  Please ask a THOUSAND QUESTIONS if you need to.  I recently told this to a First Time Home Buyer.  During the process many questions arise as Buyers start the process of buying a home.

Pullman Buyers: ASK A Thousand Questions!

 Many times, Buyers are hesitant, almost not wanting to seem ignorant when writing up a contract, and buying the home of their dreams, but it is crucial that they take the steps needed to become as informed as possbile.  REALTORS need to offer their assistance with concerns and/or questions often.  The more time that passes and the relationship is built, the more comfortable Buyers become with asking questions…but the beginning of the deal is the time to set a good foundation.

There is so much paperwork, Buyers tell me.  There is a lot of paperwork and what they are signing has many implications to the outcome of the deal.  In addition, there is much to learn abou the lending process and with new, more stringent guidelines in place, BUYERS need to ask questions.  ASK A THOUSAND QUESTIONS IF YOU NEED TO.  Your REALTORS and Lenders are there to assist you every step of the way!

SELL YOUR HOME WITH A NEW PRICE!

Now is the time!  I tell my Sellers!  If you truly want your property to sell…and most do, then you need to have the right price set.  Gone are the days that you could “try out” a price and see where it took you.  Maybe you would be lucky and the right buyer would come along..but now, times are different, the market is different, buyers are different!! There are more houses to choose from!

 

It is in the best interest of the Seller to set a price that is competitive, draws attention and gets their property sold.  As always, the properties that are priced right sell!  The property that is priced too high doesn’t move quickly and unfortunately becomes shop worn and doesn’t move at all. 

As REALTORS®, we market, work and help stage properties to sell, but ultimately it is the PRICE that sells the property.  We need to continue to remind our SELLERS…Sellers, please MAKE A MOVE WITH A NEW PRICE!  It is the key to selling your property!
