Should I work with this Buyer? Is he a real buyer? Am I handling it right?

I have a web site Cape Coral Real Estate to which I get a lot of emails from “buyers” since I am a Realtor and buyers agent in Cape Coral Florida which owns Sunny Spot Realty inc.

Yesterday, I received an email from a Canadian wanting 3 fixer upper homes in Cape Coral Florida. He filled out my request form with his information properly with all contact information.

I naturally responded via email that same day. I try to get more information to ascertain if they are serious.

Are you going to get a loan?

Have you talked to a lender?

Do you have to liquidate anything before buying?

When would you be available to view the homes?

His response was, ” Just send me the information I requested please, no calls.”

I followed up with another email explaining that without all of the facts, it is difficult to narrow down what you are truly wanting to do and when. I explained that the truly great deals go fairly fast and without a time table you may get disillusioned when you find out the home is under contract already.

What I was attempting is to get communication and details so I know he is serious or not.

How would you handle this potential buyer?

Do you think he may be a real buyer?

From Canada, I question wanting fixer uppers as not knowing local contractors etc.
I further wanted to know the depth of work that is desirable. Paint and carpet is not a real fixer upper.

Do you think I am handling this right? Should I waste my time?
