Look closer. Ask better questions. Buy with clear eyes.
Four practical checklists for the moments between finding a house and deciding whether it should become your home.
BUYER GUIDE 01Showing-day field notesA practical scan before emotion takes over.+
- Notice drainage, grading, rooflines, and exterior maintenance before walking inside.
- Check how rooms connect and whether storage and traffic flow fit daily life.
- Look beyond fresh finishes for ages, condition, and access to major systems.
- Write down questions instead of trying to solve everything during the showing.
BUYER GUIDE 02Give the house a Second LookSeparate useful questions from quick assumptions.+
- List what caught your attention while the details are fresh.
- Separate visible facts from items that need professional evaluation.
- Think about maintenance, timing, uncertainty, and your own comfort level.
- Use Scott’s Second Look to organize the property questions worth discussing.
BUYER GUIDE 03Before you write the offerPrice is only one part of the decision.+
- Understand financing, earnest money, inspections, appraisal, possession, and deadlines.
- Compare relevant sales and current competition without treating every house as identical.
- Decide where you can be flexible and where the risk is not worth it.
- Read the full agreement and ask questions before signing—not after.
BUYER GUIDE 04Inspection report triageTurn a long report into a decision list.+
- Separate safety and active-condition items from maintenance and cosmetic observations.
- Identify the right professional for questions outside the inspector’s scope.
- Consider cost, timing, uncertainty, and your tolerance—not just the page count.
- Discuss which findings matter to the offer terms and which belong in a future project plan.
