Tip#1 ñ Create a ìDreamî List

Create a list of everything you want in a condo. What do you want the entrance to look like? What kind of kitchen counter tops do you want? What kind of neighborhood? What kind of feel do you want?

Tip #4 ñ Get to Know Your Neighborhood

One of the important yet often overlooked areas of buying a condo is the neighborhood. Itís important to know what kind of neighbors you have, whether or not thereís schools, playgrounds, shopping malls, groceries and the like in the area.

Itís also important to know the crime rate in the area as well as whether or not thereís a neighborhood watch.

Tip #5 ñ Personalize Your Relationship with the Seller
