The first thing buyers ask me at an open house.
(Save this post if you’re listing your home in the next 3-6 months)
- How old is the roof, the HVAC and other major systems?
Having the answer to this \*and\* the dates of any other repairs, upgrades or replacements is \*invaluable\* to a buyer. Ask for my home maintenance tracker!
- What are the fees and HOA restrictions?
- How far am I to amenities and schools?
- What are the annual property taxes and are there any tax abatements or exemptions?
- What are the average monthly costs for utilities?
- Were there any recent renovations or upgrades (e.g., kitchen, bathroom, flooring)
- Why is the homeowner looking to sell? (e.g., relocation, downsizing, upgrading)
- What are the local crime rates or planned developments in the area?
Having detailed information about these specifics builds trust between the buyer, seller, and agent, making for a more seamless sale!
