1. Before you begin viewing properties, make a list of “must haves.” Consider location, style, age, amenities, etc.
2. Don’t view too many properties in one day.
3. When you find a property you like, visit it at different times of the day.
4. Walk or drive past the property before going inside.
5. Don’t be put off by interior decoration – it can be changed.
6. Establish what’s included in the sale – land, furniture, appliances, etc.
7. Ask why the sellers are moving.
8. Determine the annual property taxes.
9. Ask how much utility bills cost each month.
