It’s normal to enter the process of buying a home with visions of choosing your perfect home – a process of selection. It’s an opportunity to take control of your housing choices and you want to make the most of it. You want to choose ‘the one’ but in reality, buying is a process of elimination.
You set a list of criteria. You think of your favourite design styles and hope that you find a home that really speaks to you. This is going to be YOUR home. It’s a reflection of how you choose to live day-to-day and the persona you want to exhibit to yourself and your guests.
There’s a problem. I could show you exactly the home that checks all of your boxes and you probably wouldn’t buy it – at least not right away. You need to have seen something else, just to prove that this really is the one. Even in the best-case scenario where a home you love is waiting for you on the market, within your budget…You won’t know it’s the one unless you’ve eliminated other homes.
