You know you're ready to move. You are busting at the seams in your current home. You have been pre-approved to buy a home and the great news is you do not have to sell your home first. Congratulations you are what we call the Move-up Buyer. You are excited about the possibilities. The only challenge is you know you do not want to move out of the school district.
So the questions is how do you do that?
My first suggestion would be to sit down with me and let's talk about all of your options. What I would like to know from you is this.
- How do you live?
- What works in your current situation?
- What doesn't? What drives you crazy?
- What will you miss the most about your current neighborhood?
Next I would like to know what is the most important thing to you moving forward on the new purchase?
- Are you a non-conformist?
- Are you open to a home that fits your wants, needs and desires that may not be what you had in mind?
The reason I ask those questions is simple. I have learned in my twenty plus years of helping home buyers that sometimes discount homes by the way the look on the outside. I always recommend if you are trying to stay in a particular community that you look at every home as a possibility. For example most people drive by this home and think it is a one level home.

The reality is this home has over forty eight hundred finished square feet and has three levels. However, most people would see this home online and think it was much to small for them. When in fact this home has five bedrooms, four full baths and two half baths! It also boasts two master bedrooms with full baths. One on the main level and one on the upper level. Plus the upper level features three additional bedrooms and a custom office/homework hobby area. What it does not have is high ceilings, and gigantic open spaces. Sometimes you can stumble on a gem of a home that has everything you need and want only if you are open to coaching. Watch my video Why It Helps To Have A Realtor Help You
TIP (Tip From Peg) Never assume, always keep an open mind,especially when you are limited the search area.
