Did you receive your pre-qualification/pre-approval from your lender? Do you have your other funds in order?
Then it’s time to begin your home search!
We will set you up on a custom home search through the Multiple Listing Service, a system only accessible by Realtors. You will receive updates as soon as a home is listed on the market, in-real time! This is so you don’t miss out on anything – but don’t worry, we’ll get a notification as well. Now there are hundreds of homes listed per month, so we want to narrow it down to only receive an alert on homes that fit your specific criteria.
Some criteria you already know as you needed this information when you spoke with your lender:
House Type: Single/Detached, Twin/Semi Detached, Row/Town, Multi-Unit, Condo, etc.
Location: School District? Distance to Work? Close to Family?
Make a List
Of Your Needs & Wants
So now it’s time to make a list of your needs and wants. Basically, you want to grade every option for your home as “Must Have,” “Prefer” or “Don’t Want.” Here are some categories to get you started:
Number of Bedrooms
Number of FULL Bathrooms
Garage? Parking Options?
Yard? With Fence?
Patio/Deck?
Swimming Pool? Community or Private?
Formal Living Room?
Formal Dining Room?
Eat-in Kitchen? Special Features?
Basement? Finished or Unfinished?

Central Air?
Hardwood Floors? Carpeting? Other?
Waterfront or Lakeview?
55+ Community?
Home Owners Association (HOA)?
Utility Types: (i.e. Water, public or on-site well, etc.)
In anticipation, our team has formulated a questionnaire that is housed on our website that you can easily complete/fill-in. It’ll put all this information and more in one place for you. Then we’ll reach out and help you narrow it down if needed. When you are happy with the results, we can discuss getting your custom search set up so you can start looking at homes that are just perfect for you!
