Guided Home Tours

Guided Home Tours: Learn Inside Real Homes

Homebuying education becomes more meaningful when you can see, compare, ask questions, and experience different homes in person.

The Experience

See Beyond the Décor

The guided home tours are one of the most valuable and exciting parts of the Next Chapter Homebuyer Academy™.

Participants have opportunities to tour real properties with a REALTOR® while learning what to observe before purchasing a home.

The experience may include conversations about:

  • Home layouts
  • Neighborhoods
  • Property condition
  • Visible maintenance needs
  • Home features
  • Price differences
  • New construction
  • Established communities
  • Resale homes with good bones
  • Personal needs and preferences

Every step I take today brings me closer to homeownership.

Your Options

There Is More Than One Kind of Dream Home

Not every buyer wants or needs a brand-new home in a new community.

Some buyers may prefer an established neighborhood, mature landscaping, more space, unique character, or a well-maintained home with good bones.

Others may prefer the convenience and features associated with new construction.

The Academy introduces participants to different possibilities so they can make decisions based on their goals, lifestyle, budget, and long-term needs.
