Entering the property market can be daunting for anyone. With the unknown looming, the questions you ask your agent make all the difference. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, knowledge is power, and in regards to property, your knowledge is your best asset. So here are a few questions that you should definitely raise up with your agent, whether you are buying or selling.
If You’re Buying:
- Why are they selling?
- What are your thoughts on the location?
- How is this neighborhood like? – knowing if it aligns with your lifestyle.
- Have there been any renovations recently?
- What are your thoughts on the location?
If you’re Selling:
- Are there any drawbacks to my property? Honesty is a deal breaker in all parts of life; watch to see how honest your agent is willing to be with you at the beginning.
- What are all the costs involved in selling
- How should the property be sold? Auction, private treaty…
- What is this location doing at the moment? Popularity, population…
- How will you market the property?
- What are all the costs involved in selling
