Appreciation post: My agent's 20-point checklist beat my friend's 'just look for good vibes' method

I bought a condo in Raleigh last month after my agent made me walk through with a list covering everything from water pressure to HOA reserve funds, while my friend who bought on 'gut feeling' in the same week just found major foundation issues. The list felt annoying at the time, but it saved me from at least three potential money pits. How do you force yourself to be that thorough when you're just excited to get an offer accepted?

Gut feelings are for choosing pizza, not mortgages.

Used to agree, but my gut saved me from a bad rate once.
