Home Buying Tips- Tracking Your Wants & Needs

In our experience, a house is not a dream home because of its size or color. It’s about how you feel when you walk through the front door – the way you can instantly see your life unfolding there. This is about more than real estate. It’s about your life and your dreams.

TRACKING YOUR WANTS AND NEEDS:

We can help you find the perfect home. Here are some things to think about as you begin looking at homes for sale.

GENERAL:

• Do you have a preference for when the house was built?
• Do you want a house in move-in condition, or are you willing to do some work on it?
• When people come to your home, what do you want your home to say about you?
• Do you want to have a swimming pool or hot tub?
• Are you looking for any additional structures such as a greenhouse or shed?

PROPERTY EXTERIOR:

• What type of home are you looking for – single-family, condo, townhouse, multifamily?
• Approximately what size house are you looking for?
• How many stories?
• What architectural styles do you prefer?
• What type of exterior will you consider?
• What size lot would you like?
• What kind of landscaping are you looking for?
• Do you want a porch or a deck?
• What are you looking for in terms of parking – driveway, garage, carport?
• What are other exterior features important to you?

PROPERTY INTERIOR:

• What kind of style do you want the interior of your home to have – formal, casual, cozy, traditional, modern or eclectic?
• What kind of floor plan do you prefer – open versus walls between all living spaces?
• What kind of lighting do you prefer?
• Do you have flooring preferences?
• In general, what are your likes and dislikes for the interior of your home?
• Are there specific room needs for your kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms or other living areas?

BEING A STEP AHEAD:
