Michael Petruccelli says; How a First-Time Home Buyer Can Rate Inventory
* Bring a digital
camera and begin each series of photos with a close-up of the house number to
identify where each group of home photos start and end.
* Take copious
notes of unusual features, colors and design elements.
* Pay attention to
the home's surroundings. What is next door? Do 2-story homes tower over your
single story?
* Do you like the
location? Is it near a park or a power plant?
* Immediately
after leaving, rate each home on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest.
