Point of View of a Buyer: Journey of Purchasing Land.

Imagine, yourself as a lessee and investing all your accumulated capital in your landlord’s chest instead of investing in land of your own. I know that’s an imperiling situation one would least like to face.

And thereby, this situation might push you to suggest to own yourself a home, isn’t it? The possibility of wanting to buy a property arises. Even when we know that purchasing land is easier said than done, as of the considerable involvement of finance as well as manual handling.

But if you are planning to buy land, what are the steps that you would take to buy a home as a buyer?

Modern buyers of this computer-generated world are smarter than ever before because of the information that they have accessed. As a result, the conversation of sale-reps that occur gets heavier towards the buyer. For this, conventional ways of sales strategies have become less efficacious compared to the past.

In this contemporary world, to be able to reach the highest position in sales, the adaptation of helping the buyer instead of selling is necessary. That is why it is important to know the mind of the buyer and their perspective on purchasing before you start the sale process.

What is the journey of the land purchaser?

The interest in buying land of a purchaser doesn't form on a whim. Every individual goes through a process of land buying before they decide to buy one. They pass through becoming aware, secondly taking things into consideration and evaluating and in the end deciding which land to buy. And this process is known as the journey of a land purchaser.

The three stages of the buyer's journey of a land.      

As mentioned above the journey of land is a process, this process is divided into three stages: 

1. Stage of Awareness.
2. Stage of Consideration.
3. Stage of Decision.

Each of the stages of the buyer’s journey is uniquely challenging in itself for the buyers, the ability to sway their buying resolution. Let's check upon the point of view of a buyer through this stages

1. Stage of Awareness.

The first stage a buyer encounters in the process of the buying journey is the stage of awareness. At this stage, the buyer is aware that he or she might be facing some problems. 

Here they are aware that they need to solve certain problems and the buyer will try to resolve the problem. They search for certain information that would help them clear certain there doubts. 

The stage of awareness shows the buyer is sure enough of the problem and the solution is indirectly severed on their platter. All they have to do is search for the solution on their given platter. 

The buyer might manually ask questions regarding his problem to his peers or neighbours. 

For instance, a buyer is aware that he or she wants land for buying purposes but they can’t tell where to purchase, here the problem is shown that they got no clue but at the same time, they would want to know the solution. So the very next step that they would do, is to search for a property or real estate company. They will take help from browsers or google online about their doubts.

Even if they are aware of the pain point, they remain unclear about their solution.

2. Stage of Consideration.

After being aware of the problem, the next stage that a land purchaser proceeds to is the stage of consideration. Till now the buyer has completely understood the problem and has already named their problem. 

Here, a buyer wants the land to buy, but he or she has no idea of how to buy land. Now they are totally dedicated to finding out the solutions to their problem with all the approaches they come across while researching.

At this stage, the buyer is exposed to varieties of solution options. They will consider each and every options they get and compare them or apprehend their advantages and disadvantages.

For example, Now the buyer is with different types of approaches and methods. He or she might be with the options of companies that provide the service dealing with property. Considering this, he or she would try to compare and then pick up the best company that fulfils one wants.

3. Stage of Decision.

This is the last stage that a purchasers journey goes through when purchasing land. After all of the stages of being aware of the problems and being considerate, a buyer finally settles to a point of taking a decision. 

Here, the buyer regulates all the options and makes a decision to purchase the land.  The purchaser would gather up all the products and services available at the right price.

At this stage, the sales reps have most of the interactions with the purchaser. It is not likely to be bought even if a purchaser decides they might still have to look into a few factors like maintenance costs, documentation, customer support options, etc.

For instance, after a buyer pinpoints their problem and calculates his or her problem, and decides what to choose and what not to. Among all the other companies compiled the buyer would choose RateperSQFT.com because they provide the best service for renting, leasing, buying, and selling. This might offer the buyer multiple choices where he or she can compare and contrast and decide the best one.
