With over 15 years of experience in real estate in Lebanon, we - at JSK Real Estate - have guided hundreds of clients toward their dream property. One thing is clear: buyers who ask themselves the right questions are the ones who make the smartest, most satisfying purchases.
If you’re planning to buy property in Lebanon — whether in Beirut, Baabda, Metn, Keserwan, Batroun, or Jbeil — here are the key questions you need to answer before signing on the dotted line!
These questions will determine how close you are to your perfect property:
Purpose
Is this gonna be your primary residence or secondary residence or investment?
Location
Ideal location you are looking for; and why?
Size
Give me a range of size you are looking for?
# of bedrooms
This is a question linked to size and yet this is a very important factor to consider when a real estate agent is matching a listing to a buyer request.
Status of Property
Do you want a turn-key apartment or you are up to some renovation? Or maybe you are not even afraid from a total makeover!
Must-Haves
What are the must-have criterias that can be a deal breaker vs. Nice-to-have? Parking; elevator, balcony; view; 24hr Electricity
Budget
You should be able to specify your budget; there is no specific budget is not the correct answer!
Payment Mode
Cash or bank transfer?
In today’s market, we all know that we need to pay the full amount of the property we are buying as access to home loans is not available; the key question here is do you have your money in cash in a safe or in a bank & hence bank transfer is possible!
Search History
How long have you been looking for a property?
It is important to understand your search history so far; how many properties visited and with how many agents; what went wrong or right in the hunt for a property so far?
Urgency
How urgent is it for you to find a property? Are you browsing the market in case anything appears or are you an active buyer looking to sign as soon as you find the property that ticks your search boxes?
