We can't answer any of these for you. But knowing which questions to ask makes that appointment far more useful.

Because a seller who understands their own authority and duties is a seller whose deal actually closes. The transactions that collapse in this business are almost always the ones where nobody established early who had the right to sign. We'd rather you spend an hour with an attorney first — even if that hour ends with you deciding to list the property instead of selling to us.
If you know where you stand, we can move straight to reviewing the property and putting an offer in writing.
