Kyle Beavert has prepared a Home
Buyer's Checklist to assist you
in keeping track of the many houses you
will visit during your search. Print out
and make copies of this form to take along
when you look at new homes. By checking
off the specific features of each house
you visit, you will find it easier to compare
your choices when you're ready to make your
final decision.
