Seller Questionnaire

[Garrick Solberg]

I have a voicemail 800 system setup now, and I will begin advertising it soon. If everything goes as planned, hopefully I will start hearing from sellers. The problem is, I haven't yet composed a list of questions about what to ask them. I'm looking for suggestions on what to ask, but all the while keeping it short and concise.

Here's what I have so far:

1. Name - Are you the owner?
2. Phone (day, evening)
3. Property Address
4. Beds/Baths,sq footage, age
5. Owned how long?
6. Vacant or occupied?
7. How long has the house been for sale?
8. Repairs needed? Estimated costs?
9. Asking Price?
10. What is the home worth?
11. Are the payments current? If no, how much behind? (in $)
12. Reason for sale?
13. Is the house listed?
14. When do you want to move?
15. Are you willing to sell your house for what you owe on it?
16. If not, if we were able to buy your house in 7 days or less, what is the least you could accept?
17. Would you be willing to receive any of your equity in the form of monthly payments?
18. Would you be willing to sell your house by allowing us to take over your payments until we could sell your house?
19. What will you do if the house doesn't sell?
