Hi Vlad,

If you dont have access to the MLS then I would go to realtor.com and search for open houses.

For questions.  If you are serious about purchasing.  Then I would ask the following:

Do you have a disclosure packet and if they do then have them send it to you?

Ask how many disclosure packets are out.  For every five disclosure packets out then you can expect one or two offers.

What inspections have been done?  Obtain copies of all the inspections like pest, home, and roof.

What kind of offer are they looking for?

Highest and best, all cash fast close, long escrow.........

Hope that helps.

My .02 cents.  Make sure you are pricing the property objectively and correct for the market.  My strategy is to price it slightly (5-10%) lower than your competition to attract some interest.  Take an honest look at your competition.  Attend open houses and see what is on the market that a prospect would choose other than your place.  Walt the neighborhood and hold a special Open House for the neighbors.  Engage the five sences in your open house.  Fresh flowers, baked goods, music etc.  Write a small bio for the home that will give people interested in the property a real connection to it.  Say something like:  I am a wonderful two bedroom/one bath home in a tranquil community close to this school, this park, that shopping district, this attraction.  Also my best tag line I use when holding an Open House.  When someone walks in the door.  Greet them, thank them for stopping by, let them know who you are and ask them "Are you looking to buy a home today".  If they say yes, let them know this one is for sale or if they say no, tell them when they are ready let you know. That question will let you know there intentions.

If I can help.  I am a realtor in San Francisco.  Please let me know.

Hey check out The Better Block.  They have great ideas about transforming a community block by block.

If I were buying a commercial property I would want a agent that represents and stands up for my interest not being manipulated by the listing broker.
