Try Before You Buy: Checking Out a School

Buying a house is a huge step in life

Buying a house is a huge step in life. Adults know it, kids certainly know it. For some kids, it may mean moving away from everything they knewschool, friends, neighborhoodand venturing entirely into the unknown. As their parent, you want them to feel welcome, to be enrolled in a quality school where they'll find kids they'll quickly become friends with and where the instruction is at its best. Schools are one of the top things that parents look for when searching out a new home, and one of the items other buyers keep in mind should they ever consider selling their home in the future.

You can easily check out a number of things about schools directly through the internet. Most schools now have their own web pages where you can look at the instructors, extra curricular activities, view images of the school, its sports fields, classrooms, and more, as well as look at any statements that teachers, parents, and even students might have to offer about it. We understand that getting information about the schools in the area you are considering moving to is important, and that's why we've provided numerous links to view as much information as possible. One click and you're sent off to see the schools in that particular city. By looking up schools online, you can also find out the address and gauge how far away from the school your home might be. In this way, you can figure out whether it would be best for you to give you kids a ride there, if they can bike, or if they'll need to ride a school bus.

If you live nearby or have the opportunity, you can also check out a school in a more thorough manner; by physically visiting the school. Call ahead and talk to the principal and ask if it might be possible to look at the school beforehand. You may be able to have a tour so you can inspect all areas of the school, as well as potentially see the demeanor of the students and teachers. Actually visiting the school can provide you with a wealth of information that the internet and phone calls cannot. You will have a much better idea of how active the kids are and how teachers react when they meet you, offering up a better picture of the school life.

You can also talk to us, your agents. We make sure to keep an eye on the schools so we always know which is the best in the area you hope to move to. We will let you know all we can; we're always just a phone call or an email away. Whether you're a concerned parent or just wondering about the resale value of your home, we stay in the know so we can always answer all your questions. Buying a home is important, but buying a home with a good school nearby is something you simply can't put a price tag on.
