COMPARING HOMES

The following form will help you keep a record of the homes you look at, as well as ensure that you ask the important questions in determining the value and appropriateness of a house. When asking questions, direct them to the real estate agent, not the seller. This is the norm. It is what is expected by both the seller and the agent.
