To my way of thinking, the best first meeting with buyers is one that is informal yet meaningful.
The best meeting is one that has three parts as follows:
1) Getting to know each other. I like to learn about family, work, leisure recreational pursuits,
and aspirations in terms of the ideal home for my clients. I also want my clients to know about me
and my philosophy about serving my clients as their Golden Colorado Realtor.
2) Asking question about the ideal home which involves a number of obvious factors such as
price, condition, location and livability. Livability focuses on features, functionality, flow and footprint.
3) Getting a level set on the buying power of my clients so I can advise them in accordance with the fiduciary responsibility that Agents have to Clients. I make notes about credit score, the amount of equity in their current home, the amount of cash available for a down payment, etc. The market is very competitive so I always urge my clients to get pre-approved or even pre-underwritten so they are ready to make an offer
when they decide on the home they want to buy.
After that meeting, I start the process of selecting homes for them to view the next time we meet.
Thanks from your Golden Colorado Realtor!
