The Milwaukee Real Estate Blog

Steve & Rodger,

Here are some thoughts on follow-up questions for recent new home buyers.

1. Did you use a real estate agent to help you purchase your first home? Why or why not?

2. If you had worked with a real estate agent, did you have a buyer agency agreement with that agent to work in your best interests?

3. Did your real estate agent explain the benefits of buyer agency?

4. How did you find your real estate agent, home inspector, and mortgage loan officer? What were the key reasons you choose to work with that individual?

5. What was the primary reason you had in purchasing your first home?

6. How long did you plan on purchasing a home before you seriously began to look for one?

7. Did you hire an attorney to represent you when purchasing your first home? Why or why not?

8. What part of the home purchasing process (if any) did you feel comfortable with? What part of the process did you feel uninformed or underinformed about?

9. Did you or a contractor facilitate any work to your new home? What type of work did you have done to your new home?

10. Would you recommend any or all of the professionals you hired to purchase your new home. Why or why not?

This is a test to validate my blog writing skills.

Over and out!

Ok - here’s the problem: You are a small business person. You realize you need a greater voice in the marketplace. So what do you do?

You could start a blog by yourself. And worry about keeping it fresh with new content, and keeping the site up and running, etc.

You could hire someone to ghost-write a blog. And wait to be found out, castigated by readers who are dissappointed to find out that you aren’t the author of everything they’ve been reading.

Or you could join with a few others - people related to your business, who you know and trust - along with a blogger to help out with editing and keeping the site up. Combine your posts with others, along with interviews from your customer base.

Real-life experiences from the interviews give the experts a chance to demonstrate their knowledge in subsequent posts. All together, the content serves to educate newcomers to the local real estate situation and home-buying in general.
