Most buyers think that having enough money to purchase their dream home is the only important thing in buying a house; however, a buyer's etiquette is also shown to affect a seller's decision - whether or not they will sell their house to you.
According to Realty Times, a buyer's etiquette will help boost your chances of getting your dream home whatever might be the condition of the real estate market during that time.
As surprising as it sounds, money is not the only thing that matters when buying a house. According to the publication, keeping certain documents available on hand and respecting the former owners of the home are vital in the buying process.
Punctuality is one of the things that you need to consider when viewing houses, Realtor reported. According to the publication, being there on time helps send out a message to the seller or real estate agent that you respect their time and you are someone who is true to their word.
You should also limit your stay in a home to 15 to 30 minutes.
"Taking a bit longer may be OK, but remember: You can always go back for a second showing and will likely need to," said Nicholas Kensington of Scottsdale Real Estate.
The frequency of visits will also affect your chances of scoring your dream home, as the publication noted one to three visits is "acceptable prior to making an offer." Anything more than that must only be done if you are serious about buying that certain house.
Another thing that you must observe when viewing houses is that you must make sure that you have been pre-approved in order to prove to the seller that you are serious about making the transaction.
All of the real estate agents from the aforementioned publication unanimously agree that having an idea about how much you can afford to pay before looking for a house and getting pre-approved helps in increasing your chances.
