3 things to check before you buy a home in Houston.

Flooding. Taxes and MUDs. The big-ticket systems. The Houston Home Buyer Property Checklist walks you through all three, plus a one-page gut check for when a house starts feeling like "the one."

Send me the checklist

#1 · Flooding & drainage1 / 3

Check the property's current FEMA flood zone and flood maps.
Review the Seller's Disclosure for prior flooding or drainage issues.
Ask whether the home, garage, yard, or street has taken on water.
Look at grading around the foundation: toward the house, or away?
Check for standing water, French drains, swales, and gutters.
Price flood insurance even when the lender doesn't require it.

Plus: Taxes, MUDs, PIDs & HOA · The Big-Ticket Items · Before You Fall In Love
