There is so much to remember and take in when searching for a home to purchase and going through multiple viewings. Do you know what you need to look for? Here is a checklist to help you remember all of the important things you’ll want to find out during house hunting:

Basic facts you’ll want to know about the home:

  • Year built
  • Asking price
  • Property taxes
  • Other condo fees etc.
  • Home type
  • Home finish (brick, wood, siding etc.)
  • Square footage
  • Lot size
  • Parking
  • # of bedrooms
  • # of bathrooms
  • Type of heating system
  • Type of water system

While you view the home, you’ll want to keep a record if each of these home features are in good condition or need work or replacing. Check the age and condition of:

  • Foundation
  • Roof
  • Driveway
  • Windows
  • Doors
  • Garage
  • Fencing
  • Floors
  • Walls and ceilings
  • Basement
  • Electric system

Finally, here are a few things to check if the community offers:

  • Public transportation
  • Schools
  • Shopping
  • Parks
  • Hospitals
  • Pet friendliness

You can also create a separate list of what your wants and needs are in your perfect home. This will help remind you and your realtor of your priorities. Keep both of these lists handy as you view homes to help you through the process to find the one that’s right for you.

Laurence worked diligently at following up with each person who viewed the property... always available to let me know what kind of feedback she was receiving. No matter when, there is only one person I will ever deal with to buy or sell real estate, and that is most definitely LAURENCE MONGEAU!
