Qualifying Purchasers; Weeding out the dreamers

You have enhanced and packaged the home for sale, price it with the best market price and exposed the house to all of the potential buyers. Now the buyers are starting to show up and it is time to qualify them or in other words to insure that you are dealing with the right people to sell your home.

This crucial step will insure that you don't tie yourself to the wrong person taking your home off the market prematurely and/or wasting your time and money.

The less than serious buyer

This person likes to feel important and is sometimes a dreamer. They appear interested in buying your home, but are really interested in a great deal, they will buy if it is under market, or includes some fantastically unique feature. Even with these conditions this is the type of buyer that will use anything possible to get out of the contract, when they get cold feet at a later date.

It is important that you qualify the potential buyer as being serious about buying a house. The buyer needs to have a genuine desire for buying a home or better yet a need, such as relocating from out of town. The buyer needs to also have a definite time frame for buying the home. Best of all the buyer needs to be serious about buying your home.
