What You Didn’t Ask / What They Didn’t Tell You You didn’t ask: “Can I negotiate more than just the price?” They didn’t tell you: Yes. Smart buyers also negotiate closing costs, home warranties, repairs, rate buydowns, and even appliances or furniture. The list price is just the beginning. The real savings often hide in the fine print. Just Jack – Trueblood Real Estate www.JustJack.Realtor 317-341-2474

💰 1. They Get Their Money Right Before They Fall in Love The house you want doesn’t care about your feelings — the seller wants to know you can pay. Get pre-approved , not just pre-qualified, before you start scrolling Zillow at midnight. 📋 2. They Know What They Want — and What They Don’t Successful buyers make a non-negotiable list and stick to it. If you hate stairs now, you’ll really hate them after moving boxes. ⚡ 3. They Move Fast but Don’t Rush In today’s market, hesitation kills deals. But making an offer without inspecting the bones? That kills your wallet. They act quickly and intelligently. 🤝 4. They Trust Their Agent (Me) You’ve got Google. I’ve got decades of experience, off-market access , and negotiation scars. Smart buyers let me do my job so they can do theirs — packing. 🏠 5. They Don’t Get Distracted by Pretty Granite counters can be replaced. The neighborhood can’t. Focus on location, layout, and resale potential — not the seller’s Joanna Gaines moment. 📈 6. They Play the Long Game A home is an investment and a lifestyle . They think about future needs, not just Instagram likes on move-in day. 😎 7. They Keep Their Cool in the Chaos Bidding wars, inspection drama, lender delays — I’ve seen it all. The best buyers let me handle the storm while they keep their eyes on the prize.  📲 Ready to become a Highly Successful Home Buyer? Call 317-341-2474 or visit www.JustJack.Realtor .
