Instead, I'll focus on the eight key questions home buyers want answered, one way or another, before they are ready to buy your home.
Many agents think it is none of the buyer's business why the seller is selling.
But concealing the reason for the sale when a buyer asks make is look like there might be something undisclosed wrong with the house. In addition, the more a buyer knows about the seller's reason for selling, the better the buyer can structure a purchase offer that will meet the seller's needs. If, for example, the sellers are facing foreclosure, a prospective buyer needs to know so a purchase offer will meet both the seller's financial needs and the time deadline of the pending foreclosure. Similarly, if the reason for the sale is a divorce, that can affect the time needed to present the purchase offer to two sellers who often aren't speaking to each other. When I list a rental house for sale, some prospective listing agents I've interviewed ask me how much I paid for the house.
