After Jenny found a house she wants to buy, what should her agent do next?

Determining an offer price is a crucial next step after a buyer has found a house they want to purchase. At this point in the process, the agent should conduct a comparative market analysis (CMA) to help assess the appropriate price to recommend. This analysis takes into account recent sales of similar properties in the area, current market conditions, and the specific features of the house in question. Providing an informed offer price helps Jenny make a competitive bid, which is essential in a real estate market where multiple offers can be common.

In contrast, while assisting in closing the transaction, ensuring inspections, or evaluating desire for the house are important tasks, they typically occur after a sufficient price has been established and an offer has been made. Closing occurs after an offer has been accepted, inspections are important for due diligence but follow after determining the offer, and evaluating desire may already have taken place prior to finding the house. Hence, determining an offer price is the most immediate and critical action for the agent to take after Jenny identifies the property she wants to buy.
