ORGANISE THE VIEWING

Apartment viewing checklist: keep every important point in view.

A consistent checklist makes rental properties comparable and prevents costs, condition or open questions from being overlooked.

WHAT MATTERS

Prepare, attend and evaluate the appointment clearly

A viewing is more than a quick walk-through. Questions, priorities, photo or video permissions and the required scope should be agreed before the appointment. This makes impressions easier to compare and open points easier to follow up.

A checklist should not be as long as possible. It should support the decision. It connects the personal search profile with visible features, information from the property manager and points that still require confirmation.
