191: Do Your Due Diligence

Cold feet and buyer’s remorse are real life problems that may take your real estate transaction from pleasant to painful in an instant. As a buyer, using your due diligence or inspection period to answer your questions and check every detail of the home is crucial. As an agent helping your buyers understand what they might want to check is just as important. The goal is for every person involved in the transaction to leave the due diligence period feeling confident and most importantly excited to move toward the purchase. Imagine a world with no last minute regrets, trying to get out of a contract, getting stuck with a mortgage you don’t want, or moving into a new home and feeling like you made a mistake. This episode will get into many parts of the home purchase and help buyers and agents check off the right boxes before they head to closing. And for our agent friends we have created a FREE email template to share with your buyers to make sure they are sure before it’s too late.    Get your buyer’s “Make Sure You’re Sure” email template at hustlehumblypodcast.com/makesure.
