home buying 101
While hunting for a new home, attending open houses can be an exciting yet extremely daunting experience. Sometimes people are so overwhelmed they forget to ask the important questions. Next time you attend an open house, bring these 7 questions with you - maybe on your phone or bring a piece of paper - and I promise you will definitely be able to better assess each house!

  1. Why is the house for sale?
  2. How long has the home been on the market?
  3. Does the house come with any problems?
  4. Has the home's price been stable?
  5. How many offers have been made on the house?
  6. What's the home's average cost for utilities?
  7. When are the sellers looking to close on this house?
