For resale liquidity, ask for evidence of completed sales of comparable units in the same building or immediate area, not just current asking prices. The buyer pool for a large condo may also be limited, so retail should not automatically be marked as the less liquid option.

I wouldn’t waive it solely because the previous buyers had fewer conditions. Ask whether the seller will allow an inspection before you offer; if not, keep a short inspection period rather than none. Be careful with a “structural only” condition, since expensive problems can involve water...

Our team has trialled tools for lead capture, documents, viewing schedules, transaction updates and, most recently, listing photography. The demos all look polished. The real test is whether information entered once reaches the next person with enough context to act. We’re deciding what to...

How do the usable areas and expected occupants compare? A 50 m² condo may have a broad tenant pool, but demand for the mixed-use building could depend heavily on its layout and exact Jakarta location. Also compare vacancy as an operating problem, not just lost rent: an empty commercial portion...

Nadia’s “what is excluded” question is probably the most useful one. I’d ask for two columns as well: costs required to complete this purchase and costs for optional planning. That prevents inheritance or future-sale advice from disappearing, while still showing the actual cash needed at...

Including future-sale tax in the overall decision makes sense, but I would hesitate to show it as cash required at this closing. That could blur the amount needed now with a cost that depends on when and how the property is eventually sold. Ask the adviser for an exit estimate under each...

Rejected offers are useful data only if you record enough to compare them. Keep the offered price, conditions, timing, and any response you received; otherwise the lesson can become “offer more,” when the real issue may have been certainty or schedule. For the next deal, I’d also keep...

Would the lender allow the borrowing to be divided into portions with different fixed periods? I’m not saying that is automatically better—it can complicate a later move or refinance—but it may reduce the risk of the entire balance resetting on one date. Compare any such structure against the...

If an agent or manager supplied the IDR 68,270,000 figure, ask what properties and inclusions sit behind it, and whether it represents advertised or agreed rent. That is a neutral question, not a challenge to their opinion.

Withdrawn stock is the missing piece for me. Listings that disappear without a sale can make the remaining active group look healthier than it is. I would track new listings, completions and withdrawals separately rather than trying to extract a trend from one combined marketing-period number.

I partly disagree with the opening’s document-first tone. Quiet-market owners may not hand detailed ownership material to an unknown buyer before even establishing fit. A staged process is more realistic: summary, call or viewing, then redacted verification, followed by full due diligence...
