Buying well · Marqann Editorial
Make your next viewing count.
A simple way to leave with clearer answers, rather than just more photographs.
Bring your own questions.
Before the visit, write down what the listing does not explain. Ask which rooms are included in the advertised area, what is included in the asking price and which recurring costs have been documented. Keep a separate note of answers that still need written confirmation.
Look past the furniture.
Notice circulation, natural light, storage and how rooms connect. Ask permission before taking photographs, and make notes about anything you would want a qualified professional to inspect. A viewing is a first look, not a substitute for an inspection.
Leave with a next step.
At the end, ask which documents and details can be shared, who will answer follow-up questions and whether the stated price and availability are current. You do not need to make every decision while standing in the living room.
