Buyers: How To Manifest Your Dream Home

Step 1: Have a vision - If I told you to close your eyes and picture your future home, how would you describe it to me? Where is it located? What is the layout like? What color are you painting the walls while drinking wine out of plastic cups and eating pizza straight from the box?
Step 2: What are the essentials? Think about your current home. What's missing? What room or space would make your life better? A wine cellar might sound like an essential (and if it is for you, I am all for it) but what key features would be essential? A great floor plan for entertaining, a private yard filled with pine trees and room for a garden, enough bedrooms to give the kiddos their own space or maybe Fido wants his own room? A functional laundry room (aka not one that opens from the garage directly into the door of the washer and zero storage).
For this, you might think of a specific school district, proximity to friends and family, or outdoor space. What couldn't be changed that you need to make sure you avoid?
Step 3: What doesn't work? This is like the flip side of those essential features. Let's make sure we remove anything that would be a big, fat deal breaker!
A house that doesn't have a big enough (for you) garage, lacks a first-floor master, doesn't have a walk out basement, too much renovating required. Make sure you have a clear idea of what won't work before you start looking at houses - deal breaks are just as important as must-haves.
Step 4: Be positive - Remove any negative thoughts from your brain. (ie: it's too competitive, we're never going to find the right house, we could never afford the down payment, etc).
Positivity through your home buying journey is CRITICAL to finding that perfect - for your home!
