CHECKLIST-FINDING A HOME TO BUY
Checklist-What we want/need in a home
Your home search may be confusing, frustrating, or even overwhelming. Long before you meet with a lender regarding your mortgage financing, you'll need to figure out the type of home you want. A good place to start is to examine your housing needs and create a list to help you and your agent pinpoint your home search. We've provided this checklist (download the PDF below to print from your computer) as a place to start; it will help you identify the most and least important items in a home.
We also have a Checklist-Home we want to buy available in PDF format to print out and fill in as you visit homes you are considering.
