www.SellingAzProperties.com - Is Your Buyer Qualified?

Unless the buyer who makes an offer on your home has the resources to qualify for a mortgage, you may not really have a sale. If possible, try to determine a buyer’s financial status before signing the contract. Ask the following questions:

• If the buyer has been prequalified or preapproved for a mortgage. Such buyers will be in a much better position to obtain a mortgage promptly.

• Does the buyer have enough money to make a downpayment and cover closing costs? Ideally, a buyer should have 20% of the home’s price as a downpayment and between 2-7% of the price to cover closing costs.

• Is the buyer’s income sufficient to afford your home? Ideally, buyers should spend no more than 28% of total income to cover PITI (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance).

• Does your buyer have good credit? Ask if he or she has reviewed and corrected a credit report.

• Does the buyer have too much debt? If a buyer owes a great deal on car payments, credit cards, etc., he or she may not qualify for a mortgage.
