Free checklist
A household checklist for touring, rating, and deciding together. Check items off on this page — then keep the shortlist in Kinwyn.
Agree on the budget and the must-haves before the first driveway.
Pick a monthly payment you can live with, not just a list price. Use the affordability calculator if you do not have a number yet.
Beds, commute, stairs, a yard — the things that would make you walk away. Nice-to-haves come after.
One list for the people deciding. Not five group texts and a spreadsheet nobody updates.
Taxes, insurance, HOA, and PMI change what a listing actually costs each month.
Score the house before the next listing blurs this one.
Stars and a sentence while the rooms are still in your head. Waiting until tonight usually means you forget the weird hallway.
Light, smell, street noise, the thing you would tell a friend. Facts on the listing can wait.
Morning light, where bags land, whether two people can cook. Listing photos skip this.
The house is half the decision. The block is the other half.
Compare it to the other homes — with the same people looking.
Same stars, same must-haves, same notes. A new favorite should still beat the last one on paper.
A charming kitchen does not replace the extra bedroom you said you needed.
The cheaper list price can still be the heavier month once tax, insurance, and HOA land.
The person who hated the basement should say so in the same place you keep the stars.
Decide from the household’s scores, not the last house you walked.
The house you saw Tuesday deserves the same look as the one from this morning.
Every home misses something. Write the miss so it does not surprise you after closing.
Inspection, questions for the agent, a second visit. One owner, one due date.
If two people are ready and one is not, that belongs on the list before an offer does.
Kinwyn is the shared shortlist: add an address, rate what you saw tonight, and invite the household.
We’ll save the address, then you create your household.
Start free — no card. Household is how the family uses the same list.
Turn this checklist into a shortlist the household can open after a showing.
A useful checklist covers the budget and must-haves before you tour, notes and a rating at the showing, a side-by-side compare after, and a last look before you offer. Kinwyn keeps that list with the household.
Use one shortlist. Rate the same homes, write what you saw, and decide from your scores — not a listing site’s rank and not five threads.
Yes. The next showing will overwrite the last one unless you write the score down. Kinwyn is built for that driveway-to-phone moment.
