Shop around
Do as many inspections for as many different properties as you can. Doing this will give you a rough estimate and a guide to what a property’s probably worth.
Arrange an inspection with the agent
Once you get to the property, pay attention to the things such as:
- the home orientation
- carports positioning
- position on the block
These would impact its position in the marketplace.
Ask the agent some questions
Some of the questions you could ask are:
- How soon does the vendor want to sell
- Why are they selling the property
- What is going to take to buy this property today
Put a value on the property
After attending enough inspections and asking the right questions, you should be able to identify the property’s worth. If the agent’s price range and your evaluation don’t add up, make them aware of your findings.
Make an offer
Based on the information you gathered, make an offer in accordance with what you think the property’s worth. To gauge how aggressive your offer should be, ask the agent some questions such as:
- Has there been another offer made?
- Are there offers in writing with deposit?
- Has the vendor accepted other offers?
