LOOK BEYOND THE FIRST IMPRESSION

A Smarter Way to Tour Every Home

It is easy to remember the beautiful kitchen and forget the water stain near the basement wall. Use this checklist during each open house to capture what you notice, what you need to ask, and how the home truly fits your life.

Before You Walk In

Save the listing, confirm your budget, and bring this checklist. If a home stands out, your notes will help your agent guide the next conversation.

YOUR TOUR, ORGANIZED

Open House Walkthrough

Use these essential points to evaluate each home quickly and confidently.

01

Outside & Neighborhood

Start before you reach the front door.

  • Check traffic, parking, noise, and the daily commute.

  • Look at the roof, siding, foundation, drainage, and yard.

  • Consider whether the neighborhood fits your lifestyle.

02

Inside the Home

Notice comfort, condition, and flow.

  • Confirm the layout, room sizes, storage, and natural light work for you.

  • Look for uneven floors, stains, cracks, and unusual odors.

  • Test doors and windows and notice noise between rooms.

03


Systems & Structure

Ask before you assume.

  • Ask the age and condition of the roof, HVAC, and water heater.

  • Check visible plumbing, water pressure, electrical panel, and basement moisture.

  • Request details about major repairs, permits, and warranties

04

Questions for the Agent

Understand the story behind the listing.

  • How long has the home been listed, and have there been offers?

  • What is included, and are there HOA fees or restrictions?

  • What matters most to the seller besides the offer price?
