The Home Buying Process

Setting Priorities: Your Vision

It is important to be cognizant of your lifestyle to help set priorities in your property search. We will help guide you in this process. During our initial buyer meeting, we will collaboratively create a tailored search process to discover a property perfectly aligned with your lifestyle and requirements. This involves comprehensive discussions about budget considerations and preferred neighborhoods. Our meticulous analysis will delve into your daily routines, helping us pinpoint where you primarily spend your time within a home, and consequently, establish lifestyle-driven priorities.

For instance, if your profession involves remote work, an in-home office area could become imperative. If hosting social gatherings is a common practice, expansive communal spaces might be a priority. Likewise, if you're an avid gourmet chef, a thoughtfully designed, well-equipped kitchen would understandably be a key factor in your search.

Questions to Consider

  • Why have you decided to move?
  • When would you like to move?
  • How long have you been looking?
  • What do you like most about your present home?
  • What do you like least about your present home?
  • What are your hobbies and special interests?
  • What neighborhoods do you like?
  • What style of property would you like? (e.g., Victorian, Marina, contemporary)
  • What condition? (e.g., fixer-upper, new construction)
  • Is your home currently on the market? How long? At what price?
  • Are you the sole buyer or do you have partners?
  • Are you ready to purchase now, or do you have to sell a property, let a lease expire or wait for any other reason?
