My experience with buyers in the Seattle area is they want to know as much as they can about a home before making an offer. So as a seller its a good idea to be proactive and have answers to their questions ready before you list your home for sale. Here are some of the more basic questions home buyers ask:

  1. How old is the home?
  2. Have their been any renovations? Where all necessary permits obtained?
  3. What is the age of the roof?
  4. What type of heating system(s) does the home have? How old is it? When was it last serviced?
  5. What is the age of the water heater?
  6. What is size of the lot? Where are the boundaries?
  7. What appliances will come with the home?
  8. What the monthly expenses for heating, electricity, gas, water & sewer, HOA dues, etc?
  9. Are all the windows double pained?
  10. When was the home last painted? How often does it need to be painted?
  11. When was the electrical panel last upgraded? 
  12. What type of piping doe the home have for water service? Galvanized, copper, PEX?
