What are some questions to ask..

At an open house..

Not for me but for my good friend. Shes gonna start looking over the weekened and has no idea what to ask about...

Also, can you ask how firm a price is at an Open house or do u not want to discuss price at that time?

Re: What are some questions to ask..

You can definitely ask if they're negotable on price at an OH. Also ask what kind of timeline they're on - need to move asap, can move whenever, etc. This sometimes will give you an indication on how firm they are on asking price also.

Most OH's will provide a sheet with all pertinent info but sometimes it's not chock full of info so be sure to ask what has been updated (cesspool, roof, etc). Check every nook & cranny - pull open the circuit breaker box (check for updates 100, 150, 200), check windows, water pressure, etc.

Check in the attic (if applicable).
