Make A List - Check It Twice
Touring homes is exciting, exhausting and - after enough of
them - often confusing. By the end of the day, your memory may
become fuzzy so you won't be able to remember if the house with
the fabulous kitchen had three bedrooms or four, or which house
had the spot for the garden you've always dreamed of.
That's why we've developed the Cranbrook GMAC Real Estate Home
Hunting Checklist. Print extras so you can complete one for each
home you tour and use it to track important details such as
square footage, condition and age of the roof, and noise level
of the neighborhood.
And while you're looking at the feature you want in a new home,
be sure to step back and consider the bigger picture – the
permanent attributes – of the house. Remember that while you can
change superficial elements like wallpaper, paint color and
window treatments, you shouldn't discount them completely. Keep
in mind that even minor remodeling can cost both time and money.
Conversely, don't let outward appearances alone keep you from a
house that would otherwise be a perfect fit.
If you've taken good notes, your Cranbrook GMAC Real Estate
Home Hunting Checklists will be a great tool moving forward in
the home-buying process. Keep them handy, refer to them often
and be sure to share them with your GMAC Real Estate agent so
s/he can continually refine the types of homes s/he's
researching for you.
