A home showing is most useful when Calgary buyers arrive with a written plan. Photographs can create a strong first impression, but the appointment is your opportunity to test the layout, condition, storage, location and practical details that affect daily life.

3D TourRequest a ShowingBefore arriving
Review the listing, measurements, map and available documents. Write down non-negotiable needs and questions photographs cannot answer. Bring notes and a measuring tape, and ask permission before taking pictures.
Exterior and neighbourhood
- Observe traffic, parking and nearby land uses.
- Look at rooflines, grading and visible wear.
- Check driveway slope, garage access and snow storage.
- Walk the yard, fence and gates.
- Notice sunlight, privacy and neighbouring windows.
Test the floor plan
Imagine groceries arriving from the garage, children coming home, guests entering and laundry moving between floors. Measure furniture walls and identify storage for coats, pantry goods and seasonal items.
Look beyond presentation
Note visible cracks, stains, odours, condensation, uneven floors and signs of moisture. Ask about the roof, furnace, water heater, appliances and solar equipment. Request permits for developed basements, decks, renovations or suite claims.
Questions to ask
- What is included in the sale?
- Have there been water or foundation concerns?
- Which renovations were permitted?
- Are solar panels owned or subject to agreements?
- What is the verified basement-suite status?
- Which possession dates matter to the seller?
Important: A showing does not replace a professional inspection. Verify measurements, permits, suite status, solar arrangements and intended uses with qualified professionals.
