Drew Scott, one half of the "Property Brothers," recommends touring a lot of houses—at least 10—before making an offer on one. And definitely take notes. “When you walk through a home, have a checklist in hand,” he says. “[W]rite down the pros, write down the cons, and rate that house from 1 to 10. At the end of a long house-hunting day, all the houses are going to blend together, and it’s that checklist that’s going to be the saving grace and will get you your dream home.”
