Nothing’s quite as frustrating as forgetting why you liked two or three particular homes after weeks of looking. With this scorecard, you can keep a record for yourself.
Not only does this list include most of the features you’ll be needing in a home, it takes into account the importance of the surrounding community.
Maybe even more important, it allows you to set up a priority list ahead of time, a ranking order of features from the most vital to insignificant. Since most home purchases are compromises, this should help make your decision easier. The priority list can also help a real estate professional get a better picture of what you are looking for in a house to select those houses available that best meet your requirements. When you are visiting different homes, there’s no need to feel embarrassed about pulling out this check list and making notes. After all, you have a big decision to make, and it is in your best interest to take every precaution.
