Find The ONE | Finding The Perfect Home

Did you know that searching for a new home can kind of be like searching for a mate? In this video, Terri is going to give you a few ways you can know if you’ve found the perfect house for you. We’ll talk about everything from the builder to feeling at home so you have the best chance at choosing “The One.”

The Builder

Finding a home is just like finding “The One.” From the length of a commitment and intimacy to accepting the good with the bad, there's a lot to consider. Thankfully, there are ways to know if you’ve found the right one—starting with good genes. In a house, we call that the builder.

If you're buying a new home, knowing who originally built the house can tell you a lot about its quality. If the builder is reputable, you can trust that the house was built solidly.

The Inspection

Number two is physical fitness. You want to know that your house has been taking care of itself over the years (or that someone has been taking care of it). For this, you need to look past the cover page and dive deep into the bones of the home. 

A qualified inspector will give you every detail about the property and let you know that what's behind the walls is in good shape. Third, honest is very important. You want to know if your home is hiding any details about the past. This includes subpar renovations, past water damage, or a dark past. 

This is something that you're going to want to know before you commit. Again, your home inspector will shine a light on any skeletons that could be in a closet. 

Feels Like Home

Number four, you’ll know if the house is “The One” if it just feels like home. When you're with that special someone, it doesn't matter where you're at with them; it just feels like home. You should get that same feeling when you're inside your house.

You want to get a sense of comfort, safety, and peace—the same feeling you will get when you're with your significant other.

Finding The One

Buying a home can be a lifelong commitment. You're going to get to know the home inside and out, and there will always be some ups and downs. With these tips, however, you can make a confident home choice.
