Yes, it is exciting to help guide them. Will the seller pay our closing costs or will the sellers agree to all the requested repairs?

You name it. They get some strange notions from parents & the internet. Sometimes they are great little sponges, other times they think that everyone is out to screw them. Really unfortunate to live that way.

First-time homebuyers come in all varieties.  Fresh-off-the-turnip-truck to quite informed.  Real estate offers an opportunity to pick and choose who one wants to align and provide/share their own unique wisdom.  Not every contact is a connection.  It's definitely a two-way street and it is great when there are no roadblocks.

I have a teaching heart so, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE first-timers, Dario! While I really enjoy working with experienced buyers, the first-time buyers are so much more grateful to you. 

The funniest question I ever got was what was a telephone nook in the older homes we saw - it actually had a rotary dial and they hadn't seen one of those either!

Yes.  The questions are not unusual, they tend to be the same ones most people ask.  With the average time between moving being 7 years, most people are "first time buyers" regardless of how many homes they've bought or sold, because of how infrequently they do it.

The only difference I see between first time buyers and those who have done more transactions is they typically want or need a greater level of explanation of how the process works and more guidance.
