What to Expect at Your First Meeting With a Realtor

What can you expect during your first meeting with your realtor?

If you are meeting a realtor who's going to assist you in finding a property, what can you expect from that first meeting? 

Today, it's very common that the first meeting might actually take place at the property that you want to look at. Other times in a resort market like we are in, we have a lot of buyers who are coming into town to specifically look at a number of different properties. In that case, we'll normally meet in the office before looking at properties. 

What Will Be Discussed

What we'll discuss during that time is your goals for purchasing a property. We'll talk about the financial commitment—what some of the costs may be, whether it's good to go with financing versus paying cash. We'll also talk about the contract process after you have found the property that works best for you. 

Prior to all these, we're actually going to talk about the town itself, the different locations, and the benefits of different areas 

Finally, we're going to specifically discuss the properties we're going to look at that day, where we'll point out some of the selling features and items you might like best about that property. Then, it's time to go out and actually look at homes.
