Before you search

Clarify your budget, timing, preferred property type, location priorities, financing plan, and non-negotiables. Decide which questions need answers before you make an offer.

While comparing homes

Review location, condition, systems, renovations, parking, drainage, flood and insurance questions, property documents, and the practical fit of the home for your daily life.

Before making an offer

Discuss comparable properties, terms, contingencies, inspection strategy, insurance timing, financing, title, disclosures, and the risks that need professional review.

During due diligence

Keep inspections, insurance, financing, title, appraisal, repairs, and document deadlines organized. Ask the appropriate licensed professionals to advise on technical, legal, insurance, lending, and tax matters.

Before closing

Confirm that agreed items are documented, required funds and documents are ready, the final condition is understood, and your closing team has addressed outstanding questions.

This checklist is general education, not legal, tax, lending, insurance, inspection, or construction advice.
