The following are sets of questions to ask when you interview each professional that you are likely to utilize in your search for a home. I’ve developed these lists based on many years of experience.

You may not need to ask every question to every individual you talk to, or even use the same questions for each expert. Basically, this comes down to your personal comfort level and gut feelings about a particular person. Feel free to add to them according to your own interests when you talk with any particular professional at the time or based on your individual circumstances.

Often, a buyer does not have the opportunity to talk to the seller directly. You can ask these questions through your agent.
