Top Questions to Ask Your Realtor When Buying Your First Home

At 4809 Realty Group, we understand that purchasing your first home can be overwhelming. It’s normal to have a lot of questions about the process, and we are here to be your valued real estate resource. 

We want to make sure you feel comfortable talking to us throughout the entire home buying process, so here are some questions to ask your realtor when buying your first home.

What location should I choose?

Your realtor has a lot of industry experience, which means that they know a lot about the different neighborhoods you may be looking at. A quick chat with them about your ideal neighborhood, your potential commute, and the distance to landmarks that are important to you can help them decide which area(s) are best for your needs.

What do I need to look for when buying a home?

It can be all too easy to focus on shiny new upgrades when touring a home. But you’ll need to look out for some small details that can compromise the integrity of the property. We’ll be able to point out some problems that you should be aware of during your house tours.

Should I include concessions or contingencies in my offer?

Each offer is different, and we can help you assess whether concessions and/or contingencies will make for the strongest bid.

What is the sale’s history on the home?

Knowing the property’s sale history can help you create a strong offer. Realtors are privy to this information and can consult on what’s best.

How will we be working together?

Buying a home requires a lot of paperwork, house tours, and phone calls. You’ll want to know the best way to communicate with your realtor and how hands-on you can expect to be.
