The Complete Site Visit Checklist for Serious Homebuyers
A site visit should be more than a tour. Use this checklist to inspect the location, home, community, documents and commercial details.
Location and Access
Check the actual route, traffic patterns, surrounding development, nearby services and how the property feels at different times.
Home and Construction
Inspect layout, finishes, light, ventilation, views, noise and visible workmanship.
Community and Amenities
Review landscaping, roads, clubhouse, recreation, parking and maintenance. Ask which facilities are complete or planned.
Documents and Cost
Request the official cost sheet, project disclosures, agreement information and payment schedule.
Leave With Evidence
Take notes and permitted photographs, collect written answers and compare the project with at least one alternative before making a major commitment.
