All home buyers - whether new to the process or experienced - want to buy their perfect home. And, it's very easy to become overwhelmed with all the houses in Oklahoma County that seem like good candidates (price, no. of bedrooms, etc.).
To help you prioritize your "contender" list from the computer to the list of properties you tour, take this Home Buyer Checklist along when you go shopping for your house. Highlight the items that are most valuable to you. It'll help you put a home's characteristics into perspective and use true to life ways to measure the homes you've been picking out.
