What Buyers Want
by Osman Parvez
Yahoo Business recently shared a well written and up to date article on what today’s buyers are looking for. If you’re a seller, the lifestyle section of the article is especially relevant.
Our experience echoes what is stated. Much of what your potential buyers are looking for depends on the fundamental (and realistically unchangeable) characteristics of your home. Demographics are a core driver of the real estate market. The second home buyer, often a wealthy baby boomer, looking for a spot of mountain or seaside paradise is not concerned with the same things as a first-time home buyer.
The article closes with, “one of the biggest changes Realtors are seeing is in the buyers themselves, says Bishop. Buyers are doing their homework before they start to shop. “They are continuing to make greater use of the Internet in their home search,” he says. “They are gathering information about property for sale and doing legwork in advance of working with a Realtor.”
We strongly encourage our clients to do their research. We recommend utilizing the many, and often free, online resources available to better know the market and find what they are looking for. You’ll find a number of resources to better know the local market here.

Testimonials
Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.
