A beautiful kitchen can make you forget to ask about the roof. Here are the ten questions our agents always ask before a client puts in an offer.
Start with the numbers
Before falling in love with a home, get clear on your budget, your must-haves and the running costs that come with the property. A good agent will help you compare recent sales so you know what a fair price really looks like.
The best deal is the home you will still love in ten years.
Then trust the details
Light at different times of day, the noise on a weekday evening, the state of shared spaces: the details tell you how a home will feel to live in. Visit twice, ask questions, and take your time.
- Visit at two different times of day.
- Ask for recent utility bills.
- Check the building or HOA records.
