@natale_realtors Five Questions to ask at an Open House? 1. Are you the actual listing agent? They’ll know the best details of the home and it helps you know if the next questions will be able to be answered. 2. What is the neighborhood like? I don’t suggest asking this looking for demographics of an area since an agent won’t be able to tell you, however it would be smart to know if the neighbors are friendly. This answer is all about the impression made. If the agent seems to be biting their tongue, maybe there’s an issue with a neighbor and that could be a reason why the seller is selling. If they speak about the block parties, family friendly environment, best friends Bob and Sue next door, all the better. 3. What are the most recent updates? This can give you insight into the quality of work in the home as you tour it and highlight a couple of those recent updates. 4. What are the ages of the HVAC & Roof? These items can cost more than a new kitchen or bathroom (or two) so it would be prudent to know the ages of these systems as you tour an open house. 5. Where are the owners going from here? This will give you insight into the seller’s motivation without asking “So..why are the sellers selling?” If you need to stay up to date with what’s happening in the real estate industry, especially here at the Jersey Shore, don’t hesitate to contact us today.
