House Hunting with Kids? Here's How to Keep Your Sanity (and Your Weekends)

Let’s be real—house hunting with kids can feel like trying to solve a puzzle while someone’s unravelling it behind you with sticky fingers. Between nap schedules, snacks, car seat buckles, and the endless chorus of “Are we there yet?”… it’s no wonder the thought of multiple home showings makes some parents want to hit snooze on their move.

But what if there was a smarter, family-first way to find your next home—without dragging the kids to 15 different properties?

Let's simplify house hunting with kids:

1. Start with a ‘Family-First’ Wishlist

Before setting foot in a single showing, we’ll help you define what actually matters most to your crew—whether it’s walking distance to schools, a quiet street, room to grow, or a big backyard. Our Dream Home Checklist makes it easy to get the whole family aligned from day one.

✅ Bonus: Getting clear on your must-haves upfront saves time and stops you from falling for homes that just don’t fit.

2. Let Us Pre-Screen Properties

Skip the open house marathons. We’ll preview listings, scope out the neighbourhood vibes, and cut through the noise so that you're only seeing homes that are true contenders. We do the legwork so you can stay focused on real possibilities—not maybes.

3. Use Our Home Tracker Tool

This handy (and totally custom) tracker helps you compare top properties, take notes, and spot trends in what you like. You’ll also get weekly market updates so you’re always informed about what similar homes are actually selling for.

🧠 Smarter decisions. Fewer showings. More confidence.

4. Book Showings That Actually Work for You

Today’s sellers are often flexible—and we lean into that. Whether you need a lunch-hour showing, an early evening visit before daycare pickup, or want to take advantage of a day off to tour three in a row, we work around your life, not the other way around.

5. Yes, It’s Okay to Bring the Kids (Really!)

Sometimes, the kids have to come—and that’s okay. Our Junior Realtor Program keeps little ones engaged with a house-hunting scavenger hunt, while older kids get to rate features and help choose favourites. It’s fun, inclusive, and turns showings into mini-adventures.

(PS: You can even download our Junior Realtor Scavenger Hunt to print and bring along!)

Let’s Make Home Shopping EasierWhether you’re dreaming of a new chapter or already deep in the home hunt, we’re here to help you make the process feel less like a chore and more like the exciting step it’s meant to be.
