Act Quickly

Remember when you are comparing homes that some homes don't stay on the market long. You must be prepared to act when the time is right. Don't spend too much time deliberating or you may lose the home of your dreams.

Staying Practical

The checklist can help you stay practical in your search. If you have your needs list in front of you, it will be much more difficult to ignore the fact that a beautiful home doesn't have half of what is on your list. It will help prevent you from being swayed by emotion.
