It is important to discuss a wide variety of details with any prospective housemate before you each know if the living arrangement will be a good fit. This interview guide will support you step by step through an initial in-person visit.

Silvernest homeowner, Linda J. Green, in Colorado, built this Mutual Expectations Talk: A Housemate Compatibility Assessment and Discussion Guide to support herself through the process of finding the right housemate. She was generous to share it with us and make it available for all of you. 

As you use this guide, remember that nothing compares to your own intuition. We suggest reviewing the questions ahead of time to ensure they align with your own values and your home’s particulars. 

We’d love to hear how it goes!
