by

All home buyers want to find the “perfect home”. There are plenty of tips out there like check out the surrounding schools or drive by it at night. Check out our list here about what to do before buying your home! Besides doing those small steps, it is best to do your due diligence with these extra steps to totally ensure you will not have buyer’s remorse. Purchasing a home is a big deal and you will want to make sure you are 120% in!

Here are six tips that will save you countless headaches and checks down the line!1. Don’t skip the property survey. Sure who would think that the fence was up in the wrong place? But what if it was? And what if you want to expand your fence but find out it already is two feet over into your neighbor’s property? By getting the survey done, you will be able to see if any improvements you would want to make down the line are possible!

2. Don’t skip the pest inspection either. Termites are one thing but did you ever think of bedbugs? Getting the place inspected beforehand could save you a big cleaning bill in the end!

3. If there is a homeowners association, make sure to check it out. When was the last increase fee? What kind of upkeep and repairs can you expect? Knowing the answers to these questions can help you get an idea of what the future could hold.

4. It may be dry now but check out your flood zone. Wisconsin isn’t known for flooding but it does happen! Check out an area map to see if you should check out flood insurance.

5. What is the master plan for your neighborhood? Are you looking in a place that has been established since the 1950s? If so, your neighborhood will probably stay the same in the coming years. However if you are looking in an up and coming neighborhood, be careful and check what will be going up next door. Will there be a lot of construction nearby? Will this impede your commute to work? Things to think about!

6. How is the crime level? From petty theft to violent assaults, it is always a good idea to check out what has happened nearby.When buying a home, there will never be an absolutely perfect location. But you can sure get close with these tips! Enjoying your home and neighborhood for years to come is important and by following these directions, you will be able to.
