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.

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."

How Juliana Felt Like We Were Her Advocate

“I worked mostly with Amy Simmonds and her partner Amy Lynn, and they were absolutely amazing. I was buying a house, and she first met with me and did a little interview about what I was looking for and my priorities. We went out looking a couple of times, she developed a list for me, and we would go out looking together. Through those times, she learned what I was looking for and the third time we went out, we found the house I wanted to buy! Once I bought it, she made everything go so smoothly. She maintained contact with me through the seller’s listing agent, the title company, the bank, and everything. They were really good. They made everything super easy. 

I feel like she always went above and beyond! Like I said, bringing me in, getting to know me, driving me around. She was super patient. And once I decided on a house to buy, the whole team came together and they would always send me reminder emails on what to do, lists of things that I needed to get done, if I needed to turn in certain paperwork. They made it really easy. They were always in contact with me. They were always super friendly and very sweet. If I ever needed help contacting anyone they would be the ones to call. I felt really well taken care of and like I had an advocate.”
