This site is not a step-by-step, comprehensive everything you need to know, 1,000 point checklist for first-time home buyers.  The site also stays clear of budget, affordability, credit and mortgage lender requirements, as that is not the focus here. 

 

This site is simply an aid to help buyers exercise and sharpen their senses before and during the search, selection and purchase.  Some of the questions found within are rhetorical to help buyers think.  Other questions are for buyers to openly ask.  The initials “I.Q.” found in the words ‘Insightful Questions’ highlight and emphasize the importance of using information, logic and sound reasoning.  Also included are scenarios and examples along with thought-provoking commentary.    

 

Qualified property inspectors go beneath the surface to see and appreciate what’s really going on with a home or property.  The objective being to ensure that a home is structurally sound, healthy and safe.  Home buyers too can go beneath the surface to see and appreciate what’s really going on.  Not just with the property, but also regarding the industry, market and tools available.
