SEARCH PROCESS

IF YOU ONLY LOOK FOR PERFECT, YOU’ll MISS THE IDEAL HOME

When searching for your home, we need to thoroughly understand your wants and needs. Here’s how to get started:

Wish List: The wishlist is your complete list of everything you are looking for in your new home. Use it as your starting point before narrowing your options. Feel free to be as unrealistic as you want in this category, but understand it may not come true. On each item, note why you want that specific feature, as it helps you learn what is important to you.

Wants: Although there is no such thing as the perfect home, it is important to list the features you want. You may need to forego some of this list, but ideally, you should be able to hit 70-80% of it. Try to limit this list to no more than 10 items.

Needs: The needs list are what are absolutely essential to have, and the reason you are searching to purchase a home. This list should be limited to no more than 3 features.

If you want to jump in to your home search right away, consider and write responses to the following:

FAVORITE STYLE OF HOME?

OLD OR NEW?

FINANCING OR CASH?

ANY DEAL BREAKERS?

NEIGHBORS OR PRIVATE?

FIXER-UPPER OR MOVE-IN READY?

ACREAGE OR SMALL YARD?

RURAL OR URBAN?
