VIEW MULTIPLE TIMES LE TIMES
If you have found a likely prospect that strongly interests you, view it multiple times. You’re more likely to identify potential problems if you view it several times at different times of the day. You’ll also glean knowledge of the neighborhood at various times. Is a street that’s not busy in the late morning a commuter route in early morning and mid-afternoon? This way, you’ll know what traffic is like in the area and the noise levels that occur at different times.
CONSIDER THE OVERALL CONTEXT
When viewing, don’t just consider a property on its own; view it in the context of its location. What’s the area like? Is the property adjacent to a train track or noisy intersection? Is there a pub or restaurant close by that gets noisy at night? How close are you to the things you might need, such as schools, public transit, a grocery store, or hospital? These are important questions to consider when viewing properties, as they can add or subtract from the overall enjoyment of your home.
LET YOUR AGENT DO THE J O THE JOB
Don’t go viewing on your own. I love house hunting and will be a strong source of knowledge during this part of the process. Besides, homes today are protected with a Sentri-Lock system only available to licensed realtors. Additionally, there are other ways this makes you vulnerable. Let me as your Realtor® do the job. If you come across a property that interests you, but I or any agent hasn’t told you about it, it might not meet all your criteria. If you think you want to view it, give me the address. I can then arrange a proper viewing for you, together, without the owner being present.
