Finding A Property

Are You Ready To Find A Property?

Once you've determined that you are ready to purchase a home, there are few things as exciting as searching for just the right property to call your own.

Using A Property Checklist

When searching for a home, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with information and to forget the details of each particular home you’ve viewed - that’s why I’ve created this list to help you keep track of all the information you need to help you in this important decision.

  • Is there enough room for both the present and the future?
  • Are there enough bedrooms and bathrooms?
  • Is the yard big enough?
  • Do you like the floor plan?
  • Will your furniture fit in the space? Is there enough storage space? (Bring a tape measure to better answer these questions.)
  • Imagine the house in good weather and bad, and in each season. Will you be happy with it year round?
  • Take your time and think carefully about each house you see. Ask your agent to point out the pros and cons of each home from a professional standpoint.
  • There isn't a set number of houses you should see before you decide. Just be sure to communicate often with your agent about everything you're looking for. It will help focus the search.
  • Take detailed notes, take pictures, and make a video – anything to help you remember as much as you can. (Be sure to first secure the permission of the owner before photographing or taking video, though.)
  • If the owner or the owner’s agent is present during your viewing of the home, don’t say too much about your likes or dislikes.
  • Which items require ongoing maintenance (paint, roof, heating and air conditioning systems, appliances, carpet)?
