COMMUNICATING
WITH YOUR REALTOR
Excellent
communication is at the heart of any effort to find the
perfect home. To help us pinpoint properties that meet your
criteria, it's important to make it clear from the beginning
what your Wants and Needs are. You
may feel strongly about finding a home that has all the
bedrooms on the same level. But if you don't communicate
this to your Realtor, you could both end up frustrated.
The
first step is to make a list of these Wants and Needs. Spend
some time to really clarify the difference between the two.
You may want a first-floor laundry. You've decided to move
because you've outgrown your first home, which means you
may need at least four bedrooms, plus a den/guestroom, to
be comfortable. A Need generally is a must-have, while a
Want is not a feature you deem absolutely necessary, but
rather one that would sweeten the house pot, so to speak.
When
you prepare your list, consult with other family members.
Once the list is complete, at least for the moment, hand
a copy to your Realtor. Making a list will help clarify
things for you and your family, and also set us on the right
track. Things
to consider include: Square
footage—how much finished square footage do you need?
Do you want unfinished space for future expansion?
How
many bedrooms and baths do you require? How important is
a private master bath? Do you need a powder room for guests,
or would this be more a Want? Also, consider the size and
location of these rooms. Room
sizes—does your family congregate in the kitchen?
Do you function best in an open kitchen/family room area,
or is a kitchen more an afterthought, in which a galley
would do? Do
you need a den, office, library, storage, mudroom, spa,
sauna, pool, extra storage space, boat dock, a basement?
What
size yard would you like? Do you garden and enjoy lawn work,
or is no maintenance landscaping a must? Do
you prefer a garage that's attached or unattached? Do you
have an RV, a boat, more than two cars? What about space
for a workshop or outdoor tools? Make
sure you know what you want in the way of schools, nearby
recreation, shopping and highway access.
As you begin house hunting, you may discover that you've
omitted some things from the Wants list, or that a Need
advances to a Want. You may drop that Want from the list
altogether. Wants and Needs change, so update your list
accordingly. Once you've made changes, make sure you tell
us so that the search for the perfect home proceeds smoothly.
