shopping for a new home

love-my-home-i-phrase-handwritten-school-blackboard-39086740Everyone LOVES to get a deal. Maybe it’s just the way we’re wired. (Or maybe it’s the result of a couple hundred years of advertising.) Whatever the reason, there’s a certain thrill when we know we’ve managed to score a hot deal on a plane ticket, or a designer handbag – and goodness knows we’re downright proud of ourselves when we save money on a big-ticket item like an appliance or a car.

So it’s not unusual that when people are shopping around for a new home – which in many cases is the largest investment they’ll ever make – the thought of getting a screaming deal just can’t be beat!

Or can it?

The fact is, if you’re just starting out in life or finally decided to get into the first home of your own – it’s probably going to be “the basics” that matter most. Square footage, location, price – and if you also happen to love it at the same time, then you’re one of the lucky ones! That’s because for most first-time buyers, there’s a trade-off to be made – but as they say in life – “three out of four ain’t bad!”

Then there are those looking to upgrade to a larger and/or more expensive home – or perhaps downgrading now that the kids are gone and they don’t need as much space. These are the homebuyers who have something very important up their sleeves: Experience. The fact is, when it comes to knowing what you like, dislike, love, hate, need, want, must-have, or won’t-ever-deal-with again in a home – nothing beats having “been-there-done-that” (are we right?).

Buying a home is complicated. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and frustrated AND enticed and emotional – during the whole process. That’s one more reason it’s so critical to make sure you choose the right Realtor® to work with.

It begins with the groundwork, of course: Discovering your preferences, determining your purchase and credit abilities, and researching everything on the market that fits into those parameters so you can start your search. But the right Realtor® will also be able to help you look past the barriers that will arise so you can stay focused on finding the home that’s truly going to make you happy.

Let’s just be honest: Shopping for a home is going to take you through the entire range of human emotions. You’ll experience excitement, confusion, fear, anxiousness, anticipation, annoyance, exhaustion – yep, it’s all right there in your journey.

But the goal is to end up as excited with your final selection as you were in the very beginning, because buying a home is a truly awesome experience!
