Yesterday after showing houses in the bitter cold (-8) wind chill I had an appointment to meet a new buyer at my office. This buyer is a first time buyer who has spent time on the internet for the past few months and is trying to get a handle on the process of buying. While there is a lot of information on the internet it is hard to put all of the information in order. I met this buyer and we spent two hours getting to know each other. When you are a new buyer you don't always know all the questions you need to ask.
You Don't Know What You Don't Know
After chatting for a while we had a nice conversation going and this buyer started to feel more comfortable and asked the questions they wanted to ask. It can be difficult for buyers to sit across from a broker and ask questions about their experience, how they represent buyers, what is it that a buyer's agent can do for them, what is their experience, will they work as a dual agent? It is uncomfortable to sit across a table and ask the questions you want to ask without feeling that you are insulting the agent or asking inappropriate questions, it is difficult.
I tried to make them comfortable and told them to please ask their questions, it was okay. I would answer them. I would say the same thing to any buyers out there who are looking for an agent. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have, you have a right to know how an agent you are considering works. If you don't have a list of questions or aren't sure what you should ask, call me and let's have a chat.
Since I am an experienced broker I know the questions you want to ask, really I do.
