Buyers Preparing for Showings

Updated: Sep 23


In this article, I wanted to briefly go over the most important elements before showings for buyers. I'll start with recommendations prior to going over requirements.


Required:

Alert Your Agent (Text, Call, or Email a Text) That You'd like to See Property(ies), Your Available Times, & the Format

When Alerting Your Agent, Include the Addresses & Where You Found the Properties

Establish Buyer Brokerage If Looking to See with a Buyer's Agent Who Will Point Out Positives & Negatives


Highest Recommended:

Look For Potential Negatives Online, Especially for Area Elements Protected by Law

Be On Top of Property Alerts, Especially with Text Alerts, & Understand the Importance of Expeditious Showings

(In Some Cases, Required): Acquire Pre-approval or Proof of Funds

Be Familiar With What's Needed to Buy

If Available Prior to Contract, Apply for Programs to Reduce Home Cost


Strongly Recommended:

Get to Know The Agent You're Requesting a Showing From If You Haven't Already

If Seeing Property Virtually Only

If the Home You Own Is Listed for Sale, Get Information from Your Listing Agent to Your Buyer's Agent on Your Purchase


Recommended:

If Using a Trust, Business, Power of Attorney, or Other Entity in a Purchase, Get Documentation to Your Agent

Consider Your Current Home & Market Forecasts

Be Prepared for an Expeditious Offer & Consider Seeing Multiple Properties on Day 1

Additional Preparations
