what to look for at a showing
So I'm in the
house...what should I look for?
When your searching for your next home,
try not to let your emotions lead you - look at the
homes on a practical level - what do you need.
Look at all the positives & negatives -
-
are there enough bedrooms or bathrooms?
-
is the house the right size?
-
is there enough storage space?
-
is it in the right location?
-
is it close to schools?
-
is the house in good repair?
You may walk into a home and fall head
over heels in love with it. But is it because it's
beautifully decorated and furnished...and it shows like
something out of a magazine? Remember,
you're not buying the furniture...when the owners move
out, the furniture goes with them. The home may
have 3 bedrooms...but you need 4. Maybe it has a
swimming pool. The home is on a main road and you
have small children. You have a big dog and the
condominium doesn't allow pets.
Make up a checklist and make sure the
home has what you need. Anything extra is just the
cherry on top.
