The Buyer's Checklist identifies some of the important factors to consider when choosing a Property. In addition to an affordable sales price, you will also want to be sure that the neighborhood and property meet as many of your criteria as possible.
Take this checklist along when you go shopping for your Property. It will help you evaluate the neighborhoods and assess the availability and condition of various features of up to three Properties in a side-by-side comparison. To PRINT this page, hit control-P.
I suggest that you score them as we tour them. Keep track of the TOP THREE, then remove the rest from your memory. Let me know as we proceed, which are your top three favorites and why. When we are finished, you'll probably have made a decision on which property you'd like to make your first offer, even if it's just for practice!
