Four Things to Never Say When Buying in Jupiter


There are a variety of opportunities in the South Florida real estate market for both buyers and sellers. If you're a prospective buyer click here for a full home search, or if you're considering placing your home on the market, get a free home value report, right here.

While touring homes in Jupiter, there are a few things buyers should keep in mind. It’s important to say the right things, for instance. Saying the wrong thing can jeopardize your position as a buyer.
First, don’t admit a house is your dream home. Maintain a strong negotiating position. These comments can lead to the seller getting more money out of you.


Don’t tell the sellers they have a poor sense of style. Refrain from comments about anything you might not like in the home design-wise. Their style might not be yours, and these comments might affect you later on once you submit an offer.
Keep finances strictly between you and your agent. Don’t admit your affordability to the seller or the seller’s agent.
Avoid asking too much about why the seller plans to move. You may be curious about why the seller is leaving their home. Maybe they got a divorce or job relocation. Avoid any uncomfortable situations. It might create a bidding war, which could lead to a later closing.
If you have any questions about the buying or selling process in the surrounding Jupiter area, reach out to us. We’d be happy to help!

How We Answered All of Hank's Questions



"We were very satisfied and I don't think we could've asked to work with anyone better. We worked with Lee, he just went above and beyond and made sure that if I had questions about anything, inspections, reports, anything, he was real quick to get us answers. He was there day and night, I could text him anytime, and within a couple minutes he was responding, which is kind of hard to believe. He was very knowledgeable, felt like he had our best interests in mind."
