When
looking for a new home, walking through a home you are considering purchasing
can be overwhelming. There are so many factors to consider, things to look for
– not to mention making sure the home is right for your family and budget.
I have
created a simple checklist you can use, which will make your next walkthrough
experience a little easier. You can use this checklist during an open house or
when your agent takes you through a home personally. If you do not currently
have a real estate agent, I would be more than happy to speak with you and show
you homes currently for sale throughout Bucks County.
Outside of
the home:
Ensure the
foundation is not cracked
Look for
extensive cracks in the driveway and sidewalk
Check the
siding – making sure none is missing or damaged
Inside the
home:
Flip on
some light switches and ensure they work
Bring a
small appliance (such as your cell phone charger) and make sure outlets in each
room work correctly
Turn on
faucets and check for leaks
Look for
water stains on ceilings
Check
around the windows for mold and/or signs of water damage
Make sure
windows open and close properly
If
you are thinking of moving to Yardley, Doylestown,
or New Hope, or considering selling
your home, call me today at 215-519-1399 or visit my website for more information.
