Planning ahead
What to gather before requesting an offer
The address, a few photos if available, your ideal closing timeline, and any known repair notes can help make the conversation faster.
Start with the address and timeline
The address gives the buyer a place to begin. Your timeline helps them understand whether you need a fast closing, extra time, or a flexible plan.
Add photos if you have them
Photos are helpful, but they do not need to be perfect. A few clear pictures of the outside, kitchen, living areas, and any known repairs can make the first review easier.
Share known repair notes
If you know about roof issues, plumbing problems, foundation concerns, or cleanup needs, mention them early. Clear details help keep the conversation realistic and efficient.
