Smart House Hunting
When you go out to look at fouses on ¢
North Shore, you may find yourself worn
out and confused at the end of the day.
You can't remember which house had a
great back yardand a kitchen you loved
or which one you nied out because the
storage area felt like a mushroom farm.
Some of the houses looked familiar
because you had visited them two weeks
ago. How can you conserve energy and
keep it all straight?

The first step is finding a good agent who
knows the area well and will only show
you the homes that meet your main
criteria. The second step is to invest in a
small note pad, and keep a record of the
homes you visit. (Some) buyers even
consider bringing along their video
cameras.) Note the address, style and
exterior colour, as well as something
distinctive about the inside that will
trigger your memory. [fa house has reaf
possibilities, make a special note. Jot

down important pluses and minuses of

each property, and be sure to share this
information with the agent. This will help
to narrow down the houses he or she will
select to show you, focusing in on those
most likely to have that special appeal
you are secking.
