One of the benefits of hiring a real estate agent is that an expert agent who has been living in the area knows the tough questions to ask a property owner. The agency makes sure that all bases are covered and that all of the wants and needs which you have expressed are going to be fulfilled by the property you choose to invest in.
With that said, every home buyer should also come armed with his or her own set of questions to ask the owner of a property (or their real estate agent) when looking at Daniel Island homes for sale. Below are just some of the questions every potential buyer should ask about a property, starting with why the property is being sold in the first place.
Why Is The Seller Selling?
There is a good chance that you will not receive a direct response to this question. But the seller or his or her real estate agent may hint at why the seller is choosing to list the property. If you are able to catch a hint as to the circumstances surrounding the sale of the property, you can work together with your real estate agent to come up with a strategy to increase your chances of Obtaining a property at a great price.
What Is Included In The Sale?
We typically cover this question when it comes to negotiating the contract (i.e. which fixtures will be included and are any appliances staying behind, etc). However, it is still an important question for buyers to ask when looking at Daniel Island homes for sale so that they can prepare their finances to cover what may be leaving along with the seller. Some common items which may be removed include:
1. Sheds
2. Greenhouses
3. Fixtures and fittings
4. Appliances
With that said, you also should not be left with a heap of junk to deal with after the seller has gone. The agency should make sure that both parties completely understand what is and what is not included in the sale though it is always a good idea for buyers to double check.
How Long Has The Property Been On The Market?
Daniel Island homes for sale which have been on the market for over 3 months are considered to be “stale.” As an agent, Knowing how long a property has been on the market is a clear indication of how desirable a property is. If it has been on the market for a lengthy period of time, there may be an issue with the property or the price may be too high. Sellers may be more willing to fix the problems or reduce the price to sell the property if it has been on the market for a long period of time.
