What
features do I want in a home? What features do I need in a
home?
Looking for a new home can seem overwhelming at first. There
are so many things to think about, so many choices, and often
not enough time.
A small investment of time and effort right at the start
can pay tremendous dividends. Take the time to organize your
thoughts and think seriously about what sort of home you want
before you start looking. It will simplify the process, save
you time, and help lead you to the right home for you.
Make sure that you talk to Me before you start your search
to help you get organized, answer your questions, and also
to raise important questions to ask yourself, such as: |
 |
|
| Where do I want to live? (community/general
area) |
| How much should I expect to spend
on purchasing a home? |
| Are schools a factor? |
| Do I want an older home or a new one? |
| What style of home do I prefer? (ranch,
colonial, split-level, multi-level, town home, condominium,
multi-family, bungalow, other) |

am I willing to do? |

such as wheel chair access? |
