5 Items for Your Homebuyer Checklist

When you're ready to purchase a home, whether it's your first purchase, a second home, or an investment property to expand your portfolio, I recommend putting these 5 items on your homebuyer checklist to help you make the right decision for your future!

1. Before a showing, read over your wants vs. needs list and revisit your budget. Having this fresh on your mind will help you stay objective and focused.⁣

2. Take pictures and videos to jog your memory later and to help you process with friends and family.⁣

3. Remember, you can’t change the lot or the location so make sure you love both.

4. Don't let yourself get distracted by decor or staging. These things will be gone by the time you move in, so try to stay focused on the things that cannot be changed as easily.⁣

5. Take your time. If a home makes a good first impression, let your agent know you’re interested and that you’d like to spend a bit more time looking around. This is one of the largest purchases you’ll ever make so it’s worth it to learn as much as you can while you’re there.
