Property Scorecard

Take this form with you when you are viewing potential homes to buy.

Once we are back in the car, you can evaluate the home you just saw while it is fresh in your mind.  The Score Cards will already have the prioritized features that you want or need in your home from the 'Wants and Needs List' that you developed and we prioritized.  You can also dot down the questions you may have.  They will also have a few other points I think you should consider.

When we stop and review all homes at the end of the day, we will review the Scorecards.  This helps to try and keep the buying process from being totally emotional.  I will have taken pictures of each home to help refresh your memory as well.  Now, I must tell you that often a buyer just falls in love with a particular home which does not meet their criteria.  And, that is fine.  I only want to point out 2 things: 

         a)   Will you still love this home 2 years from now if it does not meet your criteria? 

         b)   You must love the home you buy!  Every night, when you pull into your driveway, 
               you have to be able to say, "Making the payment is worth it, as I so love my house."  
               This applies no matter what!
