Before you decide
Good questions.
Clearer choices.
Do I need to make repairs first?
You can start a conversation about a home needing work. Condition and expected repairs affect an offer. Ask how that work is reflected in the terms.
How is a direct purchase price determined?
There is no universal discount. Condition, comparable sales, repairs, carrying costs, and buyer plans can affect an offer. Compare expected net proceeds across options.
What fees and closing costs would I pay?
Ask for a written breakdown of price and each party’s costs. A headline offer may differ from net proceeds. Cost allocation must be confirmed in the agreement.
How quickly could a sale close?
Timing depends on title review, payoff information, approvals, and the agreement. Share deadlines early.
What if there are title questions?
A closing professional or attorney can clarify authority, liens, and other issues. Unresolved questions may affect whether and when a sale can proceed.
Can a sale stop foreclosure?
A completed sale may be an option, but discussing or accepting an offer does not itself stop foreclosure. Consult a qualified attorney or housing counselor promptly.
Can we discuss an occupied property?
Describe occupancy and access. A sale does not eliminate existing rights or obligations. Review possession and access with qualified advisers.
Does contacting you commit me to selling?
An inquiry requests a conversation. It does not create a purchase agreement. Review any later agreement, including obligations and termination provisions, before signing.
