Home Buying Etiquette

When visiting open houses or scheduled private showings, be considerate of the seller's property. Remove your shoes if requested, avoid touching personal belongings, and refrain from making negative comments about the property while inside.

If you're interested in a property or have questions, it's best to communicate through your real estate agent rather than directly contacting the seller. This helps maintain a professional and organized buying process.

While it's important to thoroughly evaluate a property during a showing, be mindful not to overstay your welcome. Respect the scheduled time frame and avoid lingering excessively.

If you've viewed a property, leave it in the same condition as you found it. Close doors, turn off lights, and avoid leaving any personal belongings behind.

If you're interested in a property and decide to make an offer, submit it in a timely manner. This demonstrates your seriousness as a buyer and helps the seller evaluate their options.  We will guide you through this process!

While negotiation is a common part of the home buying process, it's important to be reasonable and fair in your offers and counteroffers. Avoid making excessively lowball offers that may offend the seller.

Once your offer is accepted, we will help you adhere to the agreed-upon timelines and deadlines outlined in the purchase agreement. This includes completing inspections, securing financing, and providing any requested documentation within the specified timeframes.

 If there are changes to your financing or other circumstances that may affect the purchase, promptly inform us, your REALTORS®. Open and honest communication is key throughout the entire process as there are many people involved in a single transaction.

Respect the privacy and confidentiality of the transaction. Avoid discussing the specifics of the transaction or any sensitive information with parties not directly involved in the process.
