If your Realtor is doing his job, he will have pre-screened all the homes within your lender's stated price range and your stated criteria.  Your Realtor has specific knowledge of the geographical area which he or she represents.  He can tell you all the pros and cons of each subdiviison and for each home.

From the list of home photos and narrative descriptions provided by the Realtor, you have narrowed the list still further to those you would actually like to tour.

Once you have toured all the homes on the market that tightly fit the criteria you have in mind, it's likely you have narrowed the choices to only 2-3 houses for which you would consider submitting an offer.

Narrowing it to just the single ideal home for you and your family's needs and wants is often challenging.  It is for this reason that "The Home Buyer's Comparsion Sheet" was developed.

The comparision matrix below can help you make this important decision!
