Take good notes! As you start the touring process it would be helpful to take notes and pictures (with expressed permission) that would help you remember certain valued features of each home you visited.
Black Marlin Coastal Properties provides buyers with a touring package which includes a checklist that may help manage the touring process.
Here’s a few things you may want to take note of:
Plumbing – run the shower to see how strong the water pressure is and how long it takes to get hot water. Test the electrical system by turning switches on & off. Open and close the windows and doors to see if they work properly.
Other things to consider:
Are neighboring homes maintained?
Parking availability for visitors?
Centrally located to schools, shopping, public transportation?
If located in a P.U.D., What amenities are included in the H.O.A.’s?

We advise buyers to have a home inspection completed during escrow as part of their due diligence process. A detailed report will be provided for you to review thoroughly.
