With so many things to keep track of, house hunting is not an easy task. Following these tips will make your search easier and guide you in choosing the perfect home for you and your family.
1. Make a List
Before you begin your search, sit down with all decision-makers and write down everything you want in your home. Choose a few requirements that if the home does not have it can be immediately scratched from the list. Then make a list of what you would like and definitely do not want in a home. Making these decisions prior to visiting homes will significantly narrow your search and save you time.
2. Location
Choosing the right location is crucial before visiting homes. Not only do you want to be in a neighborhood that fits your lifestyle, but you should have other concerns as well. Calculating your commute to work, the quality of schools, and availability of shopping centers, grocery stores, and other amenities are important things to considering before choosing a specific neighborhood.
3. Do Your Research
Once you choose a few neighborhoods you would like your new home to be in, be sure to do your research. Market and neighborhood statistics that you can find online, will provide you with important information. Also gathering data on recent sale prices will give you a better idea on what you can expect to pay for a new home in that specific location.
4. Be Thorough During House Tours
When you start visiting homes, make sure to be as thorough as possible. Open closets, cupboards, and drawers to see how much storage you can expect. Take notice to how many and how big they are: if they seem packed of the current homeowners belongings, the house may lack storage space!
Also, make sure you are not just looking at the obvious. Check out the ceilings, walls, floors, trim, and windows that tell you a lot about the intricacy of the home.
5. Speak Your Mind
Don't be afraid to tell your realtor what you dislike in a home. You won't be offending anyone and it will help your realtor know what you may like better in a different home. This way you will be able to avoid others houses with the same features, to save time.
6. Make a Comparison Chart
Looking at a bunch of different houses can become confusing. Take detailed notes about each individual house. Consider all the features of a house and make a comparison chart to easily compare all the houses during your search.
7. Take Pictures
Taking pictures is also a great way to keep each house separated in your mind. Make sure you ask before doing so, but this is extremely useful if you're looking at lots of houses. A short video tour can also be a way to remember the specifics of a house.
8. Visit at Different Times of Day
Not only can a house look different at various times of day, but the atmosphere around it can change too. Try to visit at night and take notice to the noise level and if it would fit your lifestyle.

My family has used infinity moving for three major moves and a 1/2 dozen other jobs over the past 11 years. Every infinity representative and employee has been fair, friendly and professional. Our most recent move was finished by Sal and Jeremy who were no exception. Highly highly recommend this company.
Today Sal and Jeremy R. came today our house for help us moving. They was really professional, friendly, and so quick. I definitely recommend them for sure! Thanks Sal and Jeremy :)
Gerard and Jamal! Peanut Butter & Jelly, Spaghetti & Meatballs, Milk & Cookies, Peas & Carrots. These gents were efficient, careful, accommodating, friendly and fast. The price was right, and I couldn't have been happier with the service. Superb Vibes. Will use again and recommend to the masses.
Friendly and professional company. This is truly a back saver and the large trailer made the transition a quick two trip process. Highly recommend using Infinity Moving Co. for your next big move.
Gerard and Kyle had all my furniture and heavy items safely loaded in about 15 minutes--couldn't believe it. First time hiring movers and had a perfect experience with Infinity Moving. Professional service at a great price--they are my go-to moving company now. Thanks guys!!Edit 2024-09-07: Hired Infinity Moving a second time and had the same great experience. Very fast, professional, and careful not to damage anything. Will definitely hire them again for future moves.
In my time of greatest need, two Infinity Moving Company hero’s can to the rescue, Mark and Xavier. They arrived promptly at 1:15P, and were finished in a flash. All my belongs were safe placed inside my home without damage to them or my residence. They were pleasant, respectful, considerate, and came across as honest human beings. (5 stars for you both)
We were helped on our move by Gerard and Jamal. They were incredible efficient and we had a very positive moving experience. Their services are reasonably priced, they are punctual and we highly recommend this moving company as I have now worked twice with them over the years.
Awesome experience. Needed moving assistance on short notice and Rachel was super friendly in turning around the estimate. They sent Jeremy and Xavier who were excellent and did a great job on the move. Would highly recommend Infinity if you need moving assistance.
We used infinity moving for the second time for a home move and we were just as pleased as the first time. The first move was over seven years ago so I thought I would give them a call this time, and they still had very competitive pricing, showed up on time, were very efficient, and delivered everything without any issues for an out-of-town move! Well done again!
These guys are great and made our moving experience very positive! Very quick and efficient. We will definitely use them again and you can't beat the price!
The entire process of working with Infinity Moving was efficient, professional, and a great value. From the moment I called the office, Rachel was accommodating and scheduled us for a last minute move. The movers showed up on time on moving day and were friendly and aware of any fragile or important items. I fully expected the move to take 3-4 hours including 45 minutes of travel. The team had us packed, traveled, and unloaded in less than 3 hours. This place will be my first call if I ever move again!
I recently used Infinity movers for an across-town apartment move and would highly recommend them. Booking was super easy and efficient and their rates were very competitive/affordable. On the day of the move, I received a text 30 minutes prior to arrival to confirm and then Gerard and Xavier worked extremely efficiently and effectively. They were great about navigating my high rise and were quick to get things loaded and unloaded. They were both friendly and professional. None of my furniture or belongings were damaged or dinged and they took extra care of my large smart tv. Again, I would highly recommend them for your next move!
Greg and Jordan took great care to move my things. They were very professional and responsive to all my moving concerns/needs. I think they did a quality job and I would say they are well worth the value.
This team helped me with my move across town last Thursday. They were all polite, hard workers, great attitudes, and efficient. I would recommend this company to anyone needing help moving. I plan to reuse them in the future. Thanks guys!
Gerard and Xavier were amazing!! They communicated with us along the way and were very careful with all our items, and they made great time! Highly recommend this moving co. :)
I have used them 3 times now and wouldn't use anyone else. They are always on time, responsive, reasonable pricing, and top notch people every single time. I highly recommend them!
