Make a list.

By the end of the day, your memory may become fuzzy so you won't be able to remember if the house with the fabulous kitchen had three bedrooms or four, or which house had the spot for the garden you've always dreamed of.
That's why we've developed the  Checklist.

If you've taken good notes,  Checklists will be a great tool moving forward in the home-buying process. Keep them handy, refer to them often and be sure to share them with your agent so s/he can continually refine the types of homes s/he's researching for you.
