#4. GREAT Viewings
Win At Viewing Homes
Home Shopping For Real
In representing you as a buyer, our most important goal is to make the home shopping process pleasant and efficient for you.
Here's how we make it successful.
As the market makes homes available, we recommend properties for viewing that match your needs and wants, and are within your price range. Saving you time and money visiting homes that aren’t suitable.
You receive alerts when a desirable property becomes for sale on the market.
We coordinate access and help you schedule viewings to best fit your schedule.
We gather as much information to provide you with in-depth details on the home, to help you make an informed decision.
Neighborhood information is made available from sources, so you get a clear sense of an area in terms of lifestyle, safety, schools, etc.
When you find a property you like, you get honest, professional expert advice regarding an offer. Draft and prepare an offer package.
For our clients, we are committed to getting you into the right home, and with you every step of the way.
When Viewing a Property
We ask our clients to consider a few questions when viewing homes to help make the process easy and productive:
Does the home have your “needs” features (those features you must have)? (For example, number of bedrooms, closet space, kitchen size, etc.)
Does the home have any of your “wants” features (those features you’d like to have but would be willing to forgo)? (For example, large backyard deck, spacious family room, etc.)
What is the general condition of the home? (Are there signs that the owners have kept up with repairs and maintenance?)
Will the home need any major repairs, remodeling or renovations? Is there anything, such as the furnace, that may need to be replaced soon?
What do you like most about the home?
Is there anything about the home you don’t like? Can that be changed with a remodeling or renovation now or in the future?
Take a walk around the neighborhood. Are the homes well-kept, indicating pride of ownership?
Do you like where the home is situated in the neighborhood?
Does the neighborhood have what you want? (For example, access to public transit, shopping, local parks, etc.)
This is an enjoyable time to learn about homes and about your own needs and interests in the market. Viewing properties is a process we aim to make easy and productive for you, so you can live in the home you want.
