What You Should Expect From a Property Buyer

Questions to ask a property buyer about price, costs, buyer identity, written terms, and closing requirements.

Before you decide

Understand your next step

Look for a clear explanation of how the offer relates to the property condition and market. A larger headline price is not automatically a better result if deductions or conditions are unclear.

Ask who the buyer is and whether a partner or contract assignment is part of the proposed transaction. Request written terms, a breakdown of costs, and an explanation of contingencies and cancellation rights.

Keep room to compare your options. A direct sale can reduce some preparation, while listing can introduce more buyers. Your decision should reflect your timing, expected proceeds, and comfort with the agreement.
