Why is it better to view a house independently?

Viewing a house independently gives you the space to feel if it could truly become your home. After all, you know best what you’re looking for, and the first viewing is mostly about emotion. Doing the tour by yourself, you'll build the confidence needed to make important decisions.

Considering buying a home and already have Walter's Property Report? Great! Before making an offer, it’s crucial to visit any house that catches your interest.

Walter's Home Tour

Walter's Home Tour is all about discovering if this house feels right for you. Only you can know that. So when you're there, ask yourself: how does this place feel? Does it fit your lifestyle? Walk through each room, visualize your life there, and absorb the surroundings.

5 Tips

  1. Explore the neighborhood - Are there parks, cafes, or schools that suit your lifestyle? Talking to locals is a great way to get the inside scoop and see if you'd feel comfortable living there.
  2. Feel the vibe - Visit the neighborhood at different times of the day to get a fuller picture of what living there is really like.
  3. Snap photos of the house - They're handy to revisit your feelings and practical features about the place later on
  4. Ask questions - Don’t hesitate to ask the seller or the agent questions about the house. It will help you understand both practical aspects and the character of the home.
  5. Act promptly - If you're interested, acting promptly is key. Many houses find their new owners quickly.
