The Ultimate Buyer Showing Checklist by Kathryn Valor
Walking through potential homes can be exciting — but it’s also easy to overlook important details that might cost you later. That’s why I created The Ultimate Buyer Showing Checklist.
Inside, you’ll find:
✅ A simple, room-by-room template so you can take clear notes and easily compare homes.
✅ A list of key red flags to watch for that even experienced buyers sometimes miss.
✅ Tips on spotting potential costly repairs and understanding what’s normal wear vs. a major issue.
✅ Space to track your gut feelings and lifestyle fit, so you remember which home felt like the one.
Whether you’re touring your first house or your fifteenth, this checklist helps you stay organized, focused, and ready to make a smart offer.
