5 Tour-Related Tips for House Hunting with your Realtor

House hunting can be a daunting endeavor. Here are five tips to ease your home touring experience:

1. Utilize Google Maps

Use Google Maps to find the best route to the property/properties, bearing in mind parking availability as well.

2. Stick with socks

Some properties may require shoe removal; be sure to bring a comfy pair of socks (or ask your realtor for shoe coverings).

3. Charge your phone

Make sure your battery is charged so you can take ample videos, pictures, and notes during tours.

4. Time-of-day considerations

Consider touring properties in the late afternoon to ensure your expectations for natural light are met.

5. Bring snacks!

Bring water and snacks for a long day of touring (this also prevents dehydration and hunger from clouding decision-making).
