Most people show up to an apartment viewing with a list of questions — but there are a few things worth checking that most renters never think to do. 👀

One of the best tips? Bring a small appliance or lamp to test the electrical outlets in every room. 🔌💡 Another? Check your cell reception right there on the spot — most people don't think about it until it's too late.

Check out the full checklist linked below — it's definitely worth a read before your next viewing! And if you have any questions or want to schedule a viewing, don't hesitate to reach out. 📲

You've got your rental checklist, but these are the things you didn't know you should be looking for during your apartment viewing.

Every so often, a gift arrives that reminds us what care for community can look like.
Recently, NDHF received an extraordinary estate gift that will help support healthcare for years to come.

As the realtor team facilitating the estate sale, we had the opportunity to support carrying this gift forward. We chose to donate our realtor fees back to NDHF because we believe deeply in the work this Foundation is doing for healthcare in our community, and partnership through Cody’s role as NDHF board member.
When we have the chance to help strengthen healthcare in our region in whatever way we can, it matters.

This gift will help us keep building toward practical solutions for healthcare recruitment and housing — the kinds of supports that make it possible for more healthcare workers to come here, stay here, and care for the people who call this place home. Stay tuned for more details on this.

If you are considering a gift that can turn capital into healthcare for future generations, contact our team today.
