Almost everybody has a dream home in the back of their mind. The first thing to remember is that no home is perfect. And a used home will need work. What you want to do is to get as many of the things you really want. Buying a home is a compromise for all the parties involved. Your husband may have to have some things and you have to have the first floor laundry. My job is to get you all of the things as we possibly can without going over your budget.
What you need to do is to sit down, and write down your most important things you want in a home. You can use my gotta have dream home list. This will get you thinking about what you want. It will save you time and trouble when looking for a home. But for too many people, a dream Wayne County homes, or Oakland County homes, or Livingston County homes,remain just that--dreams. Because when they go out looking they forget what they want, get frustrated, and end up just buying any home. Planning ahead will bring you closer to your dreams. Use me and my resources to the fullest and you will end up liking your moving experience better.
The first thing to is think of what city you want to live in, what square footage, how many bedroom, bathrooms. Picture it in your mind and write it down. Share what you want with me.... that way I can help you get what you want!
| Once you have figured out what kind of home are looking for, the next thing to do is to search for the best possible deal. Although this is the toughest part of the whole home buying process, doing your homework certainly does help. There are two ways of doing this. Searching on your own or by hiring a local real estate agent (Russ Ravary) and letting him do the hard work for you! It is no money out of your pocket as the seller's pay us. Use my experience and my hard work to find the home of your dreams! | |
