First Time Home Buyer's (We're On Our Way)

Welcome back First Time Buyers!!

I have arranged for you to see your six favorites today. car trip

Before we leave I will discuss the laws in New Hampshire regarding Agency. Since we are in a "dating" relationship at this time, you will have be signing an Agency Disclosure stating that you understand my role as a Realtor. I can show you property. Hopefully by the end of today we will have a mutual interest in working in a Relationship where I can represent you as a Buyers Agent and use my expertise in your favor!

I have printed off a "score" list sheet for you to use . It has a picture and brief description of each property with plenty of space to write your comments after each. That way when we go over what we have seen you'll have the plus's and minus's of each ...at your fingertips. I will also bring my camera so if there is a particular feature you are attracted to I can record that for you (with the Selling Agents Permission)!

A few Things to make note of: neighborhood

Your surroundings
The siteing of each house.
The proximity to where you work
Whether the property meets your space needs
If there is work to be done....can you do it?

Fortunately....Concord, New Hampshire is a city of Neighborhoods. Each neiborhood has its own charm. It has it's own Elementary school and all can boast easy access to highways and services

All of these affect the value that the shack property has TO YOU and will help to determine a potential offer!

Finding the right property is not an exact science. It's a combination of instinct, logic, good sense, need and infatuation. By the end of your first day even if you haven't found your dream home....you will have learned! You will start to know what is really important to you, what you are willing to do without and Value vs. Price.

You are well on your way....to finding your new home!

Wow is it that easy, all this time I thought you had to trick them into signing and then amp up the fear that if they don't make an offer today the house will be gone and they will never have a 2nd chance. Hmm it cant be that easy after all you know what "they" say about buyers......

Great post. You make great points about how to treat our buyers and also how to present ourselves.

Eric...LOL I actually do know some Agents who are waiting with contract in hand. Hmmm I wonder how that "saying got started? Thanks for visiting!

Thanks Jamie..I think it's important to build a relationship if we expect them to trust us! I appreciate your comments.

Excellent post! I think that's a great way to approach the first meeting with a buyer, then if everyone feels a good vibe, get the buyer broker agreement. Way to go! Mind if I use it? :)

Jason....be my guest! There is nothing worse than tying yourself into a relationship that just doesn't work...it can happen on either side!!

Go get 'em, Joan! You are one well prepared lady! I applaud your thoroughness and your character for being able to explain it so eloquently. Sell those houses!

Hi Carol...I'm sure trying!

Joan - Now that's worthy of a WOW!

And in a nutshell...you are very organized and well prepared. WooHoo!

Joan,

i like the checklist, i've bought numerous properties and never had a realtor suggest this.

the pictures are a nice touch as they can admire the feature(s) that they really liked as they sit at home later.

(starting with fortunately, neighborhood).

Joan, People will LOVE working with you with your knowledge of all your different areas and what they offer; you're truly an expert who can lead them in the right direction to finding the home they've been dreaming of!

Thanks Marlene.you are always so positive!

Thanks Sally...but when it comes to organization....you have me beat by a mile!

Hi Jay...it never ceases to amaze me at how much information people really don't absorb. Especially the first time out! I think they are just too excited!

Carole...thanks for the kudos, but you are the queen of direction...LOL pretty good pun eh?

Joan,

You make buying a first home fun and hassle free! I love how you present things in this article...
