BUYING A HOME!  WHAT  DO WE WANT?

BUYING A HOME IN ATLANTA? MAKE A LIST FIRST!

The best way to start the home buying process is to make a list!  Make a list of each and every detail you want in your new or next home. Include location of the home, school district, style, age of home, size, and any other exact details that would match your description of your perfect home. Make sure you are certain that you have included everything. Put the list away for a while, and then take it out again. Have you thought of anything to add?  It could probably be revised hundreds of times! Why?  Because your interests and priorities change, and nothing is perfect!  

That's why there is an eraser on the back of your pencil!  No one home will ever meet all your expectations! Do not think that it will!  If you think there is just one "perfect home," you'll be disappointed, and will end up never purchase anything. Compromise is a reality when searching for just the right home.  This is the "real world!"  There has to be trade-offs. You may not get the whirlpool tub you wanted, however the kitchen may have more built-ins that you had expected, and a double oven! The garage may not be a three-car garage, but the den may have a stacked stone fireplace!  So it is important to prioritize!

Discuss each item on the list with family and friends, deciding which are the most beneficial to the majority of your family members.   Be prepared to compromise on the rest.   Above all, be realistic!  Look for homes that have the greatest number of desired features.  When you find a home with some of the less important ones present also, consider it a bonus!  Don't be surprised if it becomes necessary to compromise on one of the top priority items.  It does happen!  For an enjoyable home purchase experience, be flexible.  Each home you see will be unique.  So locate the one that offers your family the most comfort and security, and then be prepared to buy it.
