Going FSBO? Another Tip To Help You When You Get An Offer.

Despite my lovely presentation and all the advice presented to help you sell your home - you are going FSBO anyway! 

OK!  Here is one more tip to help you along!

Does the buyer making an offer on your home have the resources to qualify for a mortgage?  If you aren't sure, or you "think so" or you really don't know - you may not be selling your home to that Buyer!

Here are few questions you need to ask potential Buyers:


1.  Has the buyer been prequalified or preapproved for a mortgage? If yes, ask for a lender certificate or an LSR (loan status report) - these buyers will be in a much better position to obtain a mortgage promptly.

2.  Does the buyer have money for the down payment and closing costs? A buyer will likely need 20 percent of the home's price as a down payment and between 2 and 7 percent of the price to cover closing costs.

3.  Does the buyer have good credit? Make sure you ask for a credit report and review it!

Gab, One caveat that I must warn of is when showing a credit report that there is no social security number on said report. One of my clients brought me in a credit report with the SS# clearly high lighted. Thats a no-no...
