Your welcome.

First get a pre-approval from a bank or mortgage company....get a truth in lending statement... ask or check your APR...some buyers will say they had no closing cost....your APR is a cost for sevices rendered
A good Realtor for the buyer will:
Search the deed of property of interest for easements...right of ways.
Go to building inspectors office to check on pulled permits for work that was done.
If on septic check the as built plan to make sure it is for the correct number of bedrooms...also to have homeowner have inspection of same if not inspected in last two years.
Check zoning on zoning map at engineers office....do not believe assessors.

This is just a beginning....If a Realtor will not do the above (exclude the applying for the loan) get rid of him/her.....
