In the real estate business, we often get calls from buyers interested in a house that they have found on the Internet.
Frequently these calls go beyond the number of bedrooms and baths in the house. At some point, the conversation is shifted towards the price and terms that the seller might accept.
In my most humble opinion, I believe that an interested party should first view the property and decide if it is suitable for their purposes, and then consider whether or not to make a bona fide offer on the house.
Because there are many things that may not be revealed in online photographs that may give a buyer second thoughts about making an offer.
The actual condition of the house, the way it smells, the way the house is situated on the lot, the flow of the floor plan, and the proximity to neighbors are just a few of the attributes that may not be readily discernible by a web surfer.
Conversely, if a house is in great condition, a perfect location, and everything a buyer wants in a home an offer should reflect the buyer’s true intent to purchase the property.
Either way, it is imperative that a buyer has all of the information they need to make an informed decision.
And then the negotiations can start.
