10 Signs of a Real Buyer
Someone truly looking to buy/rent a condo or house

Not everyone who sends a message...
Is ready to walk through the door of a new home immediately
.
As a real estate consultant
We know well that “every minute”
Is the most valuable asset
And meeting a real client
Not only closes deals faster
But makes the energy we put in
Yield clear results
.
This article isn’t written
To make you rush to close with everyone
But to help you spot the “clear signs”
That this person… isn’t just interested
But is truly searching for property
And ready to move forward with you
.

1. Asks direct questions right from the start
Instead of casually asking “Is the house pretty?”
They’ll ask, “What’s the lowest closing price?”
Or “What’s the earliest possible transfer date?”
That’s how a person with intent opens the conversation
.
Why you should focus:
Because clients with clear goals
Won’t waste your time or theirs
On side conversations
.

2. Clearly states needs and budget
They’ll say things like “Looking for a 2-bedroom condo, budget under 7M” or
“4-bedroom house within 5 km of my child’s school”
.
Why you should focus:
Because clear data
Is fuel for finding the right match
And speeding up the deal
.

3. Ready to schedule a viewing immediately
If you send photos and they reply
“Available tomorrow afternoon, let’s go see it”
That’s a sign they’re moving from interest to action
.
Why you should focus:
Because scheduling means readiness to decide
.

4. Mentions people involved in the decision
“My wife has to see it too” or
“Want my parents to see it first”
That’s prepping the decision process
.
Why you should focus:
Because this step
Only happens with real buyers
.

5. Has viewed other properties before
They’ll compare pros and cons with ones they’ve seen
And wait to hear how your property
Stands out
.
Why you should focus:
Because comparing
Is a sign they’re narrowing down final options
.

6. Asks about paperwork and steps
“What documents are needed?” or
“If I book, can we transfer right away?”
This means they’re moving beyond ‘viewing’
To ‘buying/renting’
.
Why you should focus:
Because it shows prep for the actual process
.

7. Has a clear timeframe
“Need to move before school starts” or
“Want the house before year-end”
Urgency is a driver
That pushes everything forward
.
Why you should focus:
Because deadlines make deals close faster and clearer
.

8. Digs into costs in detail
Asks about common fees, mortgage registration, monthly interest
Someone not serious wouldn’t go this deep
.
Why you should focus:
Because they’re calculating
To confirm deal feasibility
.

9. Follows up proactively
“What’s the update on that unit?” or
“Any new units come in?”
This confirms
You’re in their top shortlist
.
Why you should focus:
Because clients who follow up themselves
Are truly and consistently interested
.

10. Shows emotion when they find the right one
Eyes light up, excited voice,
Or they take photos of every angle
That’s their indirect way of saying “This is it”
.
Why you should focus:
Because emotion
Is the most powerful decision accelerant
.

Meeting real clients isn’t coincidence
It comes from observing their actions, words,
And the steps they take
When you catch these signs early
You’ll know when to hit the gas
And close with confidence
.
In this business… it’s not just about “finding clients”
But about “finding someone ready to walk with you”
And giving all your time and energy… to them
.
