The Dream Home

In today’s revitalized economy, I as a Realtor am often approached by potential buyers who come in search of their dream home. These buyers finally have accumulated the money and resources to buy the home they’ve always wanted; not just a temporary shelter that will get them by until something better comes along.

It is truly a joy and a privilege to be the merchant of dreams; to help my clients find the home they have wanted and envisioned for years. It can however be a challenge if they do not have a clear idea of what they want in a residence. It may be difficult for them to describe and pinpoint the traits and qualities that constitute their dream home; and in that case, I will ask a series of questions that will help them realize the dream:

1. Describe the home of your dreams.  I have them describe in detail the home of their fantasy; the place that they’ve always wanted to come home to, the house that truly would feel like a home. I ask them to specify the look and style of this residence, as well as other traits and characteristics that they consider to be must haves.

2. Who will live here with you?  How many people will live in the house, in order to determine the number of bedrooms and bathrooms that need to be included in the residence as well as its square footage. Beyond the basics, the wants and opinions of these other residents also should be considered before any final purchase is made.

3. Where is your dream home? Do you have a specific location in mind? Or, will you let me do my job to locate the home of their dreams; but I can’t do this until I get a general idea of a preferred location or feel of a community. Do you wish to make their home in the city or the country, or perhaps in the suburbs? Is there a particular community that you enjoy visiting on a regular basis? Do you need a place that is located in close proximity to a particular school or workplace? As the old saying goes, “Location, location, location!”

4. What extras and accents do you want? Does your dream home include a fireplace, a swimming pool, a rec room? Little things mean a lot, especially if they’re fun and luxurious; the stuff of dreams, so to speak.
