What to look for when viewing a property
Here are a few questions and ideas to consider when viewing homes to help make the process easier and more productive:
“Must have” features
Does the home have your “needs” features (those features you must have)? (For example, number of bedrooms, closet space, kitchen size, etc.)
“Would like to have” features
Does the home have any of your “wants” features (those features you’d like to have but would be willing to forgo)? (For example, large backyard deck, spacious family room, etc.)
Condition and Maintenance
What is the general condition of the home? (Are there signs that the owners have kept up with repairs and maintenance?)
Repairs & Renovations
Will the home need any major repairs, remodeling or renovations? Is there anything, such as the furnace, that may need to be replaced soon?
Likes & Dislikes
What do you like most about the home?
Is there anything about the home you don’t like? Can that be changed with a remodeling or renovation now or in the future?
Neighborhood & Amenities
Take a walk around the neighborhood. Are the homes well-kept, indicating pride of ownership?
Does the neighborhood have what you want? (shopping, local parks, etc.)
Viewing properties should never be a frustrating ordeal
