Do you tend to ask a lot of questions? When you are selling your home there are some things that you should ask a buyer, and some things that you should refrain from asking. There is nothing more annoying, or more frustrating, than an owner who attempts to show off obvious aspects of a home to a potential buyer. Some owners have a tendency to point out things such as large bay windows, but this sort of information isn't necessary (and it may insult the buyer's intelligence as well). Likewise, asking about a buyer's current occupation or yearly salary is crossing the line. However, there are some questions that every owner should ask a buyer before any offer is made.
