Buyers
Rate Your Prospective New Home And Neighborhood
As you shop for a home, a Realty Executives Dillon associate will help you rate the following features about each home and surrounding neighborhood as good, fair or not important:
- General Room Layout
- Number of Bathrooms
- Closets and storage space
- Yard Size
- Size of rooms - Kitchen, Living Room, Dining Room, Family Room, Master Bedroom, Other Bedrooms
What is your overall rating of the home? Is it worth considering or eliminating from your list of prospective homes? Make a rough diagram of any home you might seriously consider. Nothing fancy... just a basic summary of the floor plan with window and door openings, so you can imagine how your furniture might fit. Also note telephone jacks.
