1) Determining What You Really Need What features of a new home are the most important to you? By defining the requirements you would need and why allows us to find the homes that are best suited for you!
Have you ever met someone that recently purchased a property only to find it was missing something very important? Don’t be that person!
Below is a process to help aid you in establishing your list of requirements, things you need versus things you want. Each member of the purchasing property should make their list independently and then share and discus afterwords. This helps establish what everyone needs or wants. Follow steps A, B and C. It’s fun maybe even a surprise at the end. Often partners learn something.
