The Buying Process
Defining Your Ideal Home
Finding and buying the right home is a highly personalized process, and it all begins by identifying your needs.

What is your preferred location, price point, and style of home (ranch, colonial etc.)?
-
What would you consider a comfortable commute?
-
What are the most important activities for the members of your household?
-
What is something you disliked about the house or area where you lived previously?
-
What are one or more features you liked most about homes you’ve lived in previously?
-
What are the most “must have” features of your ideal home and neighborhood?
