Answering these questions will save you significant time and effort in running around to view homes that don’t suit you. Once you’ve decided on your criteria, call me, your Premium Sevices Upgrade , and let ME know what you are looking for and what price range you want us to look in. I will get to work on your behalf, shortlisting the properties that meet your criteria so you can start your viewing from there. Then comes the fun part: Finding that perfect home you’ve been dreaming of!
SCHEDULE ADEQUATE TIME
When viewing homes, make sure you’ve got plenty of time to really view the home from a critical perspective. We will try to schedule enough time to do a proper inspection. Look into all closets and crawl spaces. It’s possible you will be living there for years to come, so five minutes strolling around is not going to be adequate to form an opinion.
BE THOROUGH
Related to scheduling adequate time to view the home, be thorough when checking it out. Open drawers, cabinets, and cupboards. Look behind furniture and even under it to find stains or signs of wear not readily evident. Lift up rugs. Is the flooring lighter where the rug has been? While this may seem rude, it’s not. You’re about to make a substantial investment and you need to know exactly what you’re getting. An artfully positioned chair could be hiding something, so feel free to look where you need to. Of course, if you’ve dismissed the home from the start, do only a minimal walkthrough or don’t bother with the inspection at all.
