Whether you are buying a home, selling a home, or hiring us for our property management services, the biggest thing we have to talk about with our clients is expectations.
Most agents do a really good job of setting expectations when dealing with a seller. After all, you have to go to their house, talk about what it’s worth, what you can sell it for, and what you need to do to get it ready for the market.
A lot of agents don’t do as good of a job when it comes to buyer expectations. With a buyer, you want them to go to their lender as soon as possible so they know what their price point is. Then, you can see what you can find at their price point in the areas they want to live in.
It’s important to set expectations right from the beginning.
When clients are moving in and out of the Reno area, it’s especially important that you set realistic expectations. After all, what you can get for the average price in Reno is completely different from what you can get at the same price in another city. For example, not all clients define a “big lot” the same way. In New York City, a big lot is anything where you have some patio space. Here in Reno, a big lot can be up to 50 acres.
As agents, our biggest challenge is to set expectations right at the beginning. We meet all our buyers, sellers, and investors in person so that you know exactly what to expect from your real estate transaction.
If you have any questions about your specific situation, just give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to help you!
