When it comes to renting or buying a home, making an informed and secure decision is essential. Re/Max, the global leader in real estate, supports you every step of the way — but to start off right, check out this practical checklist:


✅ 1. Define your budget clearly

  • Evaluate your monthly income and financial commitments.

  • Consider extra costs such as property taxes, condo fees, insurance, and moving expenses.

  • If financing, run simulations and review down payment + monthly payments.


✅ 2. Choose the ideal location

  • Review the neighborhood: safety, public transport, shops, and schools.

  • Check the distance to work or other daily destinations.

  • Visit the area at different times of day to get a better feel for the surroundings.


✅ 3. Review the property’s documentation

  • With Re/Max, you’ll be sure that:

    • The property is legally registered.

    • There are no outstanding debts (property tax, condo fees).

    • Title and ownership documents are in order.


✅ 4. Evaluate the condition of the property

  • Check the structure, plumbing, and electrical systems.

  • Pay attention to ventilation, natural lighting, and the general finish quality.

  • If renting, make sure to review the inspection report before signing.


✅ 5. Consider your lifestyle

  • Need space for a home office? Have pets? Want a garden or a balcony?

  • Think about daily convenience: parking, elevator, accessibility, common areas, etc.


✅ 6. Work with a trusted Re/Max agent

  • With Re/Max, you’ll get personalized service, complete transparency, and support from start to finish.

  • Our team is prepared to find the right property based on your priorities and expectations.
