How To Use Cameras When Shopping For Homes
As we head into Memorial Day weekend, there are a lot of homes from which buyers can choose. And in their home searches, many are choosing to see them all!
The more homes viewed, however, the harder it is to remember the small details that can help the right home stand apart from the pack.
One neat little trick for “remembering” a home’s unique qualities is to carry a small digital camera and take photos of features that interest you.
This can be especially important when viewing upwards of five homes in a single day. It’s normal that you’ll remember “the house with brick exterior”, or “the one with two first floor half-baths”, but it’s unlikely that you’ll remember chandeliers, crown moulding, and appliances.
It doubtful that a real estate agent will prohibit you from taking pictures, but because of the potential for security concerns, it’s courteous to ask beforehand. If the home you are viewing has a lockbox and no agent is present, use your good judgment.
