ensure that you get the information you need to select the proper buyer: Are you currently working with a real estate agent? If the buyer is working with an agent, this will let you know that the legwork and paperwork of closing the sale can be done for you—or at least some of it can—but also that you might be expected to pay for a commission for said agent. How long have you been looking at homes? If the buyer has just started looking for a home, be ready to move on. This means that they are probably just “window shopping” and will continue to look at other homes besides yours. However, if they have been looking for quite some time, they will typically make a commitment one way or the other right away, whereas buyers who have just started looking will not. It’s always better to go with a buyer who has been looking for a long time. They have already seen what’s out there, and chances are they have already considered their options and will be able to come to a decision much faster.
