Beginning a Salt Lake Home Search

When home buyers are beginning a home search in Salt Lake, they often start with an E mail or phone call asking for more information. Here is an e mail I received this morning from a potential buyer. This possible client was new to us and new to the website.

It was obvious that Chris, we'll call (or her) him has narrowed the area where he wanted to live, down toSandy Utah and White City.

Judging from the price of the house he was looking at, we knew prices of houses that would be of most interest and the fact that the home he was inquiring about was a Sandy short sale, we should help him find distressed  property. 

Chris wrote this.

Gordon,

 I am looking for a house in the sandy white city area. I saw that this house is possibly sold and I am just wondering if there is a possibility that it might not sell. If not I am very interested in it. Let me know when you get a chance, thank you very much.

 Best regards,

Based on what we could tell from the e mail, and not wanting to pick up the phone and bother Chris at work, we sent this reply.

Chris, thanks for stopping by our Real Estate website.

Yes, it looks like the home on 422 East Calnette has an offer under review by the lender as a short sale. As you know,  frequently those don’t close.

Because of that, I have asked our associate in the White City and Sandy UT area Jane Simons to follow up on this one for you. If the sale should go upside down you will hear about it first.

I have also asked her to send you a list of homes in that area that are on the market in or near the price range this home was listed at. (Sandy homes for sale from $120,000 to $160,000).

Jane may be calling you to refine what you are looking for so that you can receive listings in your inbox automatically when they become available. No obligation and it’s FREE. Really the best way to stay on top of homes for sale in the Salt Lake area.

Also here is our monthly blog post about Foreclosures and short sales as a reference for you. This is for October but it updates so these should be current distressed  houses.

Hope this helps you Chris.

Good Luck;

So...... that's what you can expect if you are beginning your home search in Salt Lake by sending an e mail.

To a large degree a phone call elicits the same kind of response. We set you up so that it is very easy to narrow down the price and the area of your new Salt lake home. The next step is to customize further to include number of bedrooms, baths, garage parking Etc.
