What propertys can you show me?

I hope that you are finding my blog useful.....as promised in my first post I will now look at one of the most common questions that people ask and show you how to avoid, arguments, frustration and find your dream home.

‘What properties can you show me?’ should really be ‘What do I/we really want in our new home?’ Firstly make a list of what you are looking for in your home.

Do you want a unit, town house, villa, free standing home, vacant land, rural residential? Where do you want to live and where do you NOT want to live? How many bedrooms and bathrooms, single or double garage, extra access for a boat, family room for the kids, space for a pet, pool or no pool, distances to schools, shops and public transport, style of home and building materials used, etc. List everything that is important to you and your family.

Next consider what are the essential or must have items and what are the, would be nice but not essential items.

Working out your list in advance will save you heaps of time and greatly reduce the stress and frustration of looking at properties that you like and your family or partner don’t like and/or are just not quite right. Conversely, armed with your list, you will know almost instantly, when you spot that perfect property!

You will be amazed at the number of arguments that will be avoided and how much anxiety can be reduced by this simple preparation. Also, when comparing properties it will always be against your list and this simple action will also help you to identify both over priced properties and bargain buys, potentially saving you thousands!
