Why This Checklist Is Useful for Buyers

Houses, floor plans, styles, upgrades, square footage, favorite features, and locations can all blur together when you’re on the hunt for a new home. Even with your expert guidance as a real estate professional, your clients may struggle to recall the specifics while touring homes. That's why this checklist is a game changer.

With it, your buyers can:

• Rate Key Home Features. Buyers can assess everything against their wish list, from curb appeal to kitchen layout, renovations, and storage space.

• Jot Down Notes. Buyers can use it to capture thoughts, feedback, and other important details. Then, they can share it with you, so you’ll gain a better understanding of what they’re looking for.

• Summarize Likes and Dislikes. Buyers can create clear, helpful pro/con lists of wins and deal-breakers for each property they tour.

This printable checklist turns a whirlwind of house tours into an organized, intentional experience. Plus, when the time comes to make an offer, your buyers will be able to make a well-informed choice with confidence.
