Buying in Nelson? Here’s What to Ask Before Making an Offer
Even though real estate agents are working on behalf of the vendor, experienced agents know that helping buyers is essential to getting the best outcome for everyone. In a tight market like Nelson’s, it pays to work with someone who’s upfront, responsive, and well-connected.
If your finance is sorted and you’re actively looking, one of the smartest moves you can make is to talk to a few local agents and let them know exactly what you’re after. The more specific you are, the better chance we have of matching you to the right home - even before it hits the market.
Yes, some buyers are cautious about revealing too much, especially when it comes to their budget. But being too guarded can mean missing out on great opportunities. The key is to build trust with an agent who listens, communicates clearly, and puts your interests on the table.
Before making an offer, do your homework - and don’t be afraid to ask questions. The more you know, the more confident you’ll feel.
Smart Questions to Ask Before Making an Offer:
- What’s the price guide?
- Why is the vendor selling?
- Does the vendor have a preference for a settlement date?
- Has any major work been done on the home, and was it consented?
