Your marriage may be new, but your first house may not be. This is a great time for you to find the perfect fixer-upper. You may not be concerned with proximity to schools, but you can definitely put some “sweat equity” into a property and add personal touches that turn the house into your home. I can help you find a starter home that fits your wants and needs, and even arrange for a professional home inspector to check the home for any concerns. Plus, starting your new life in an existing home can often times save you money.
Phase Two
Bun In The Oven
There’s a baby on the way. Baby. On the way. (Sometimes it helps to say it twice.) If it’s time for you to upgrade to a larger home, I can help. Together, we’ll determine your property needs, your budget and the ideal community for you. Secure neighborhood? Check. Perhaps a new construction? Check. A smooth transition from old home to new home? With me as your Realtor, that’s practically a guarantee.
Phase Three
Kids, Kids, Kids
Your life may revolve around soccer practice, Girl Scouts and PTA meetings, but your home will always be your family’s foundation—make sure it still fits your needs. Go ahead, get the extra bedroom for toys and sleepovers. Get the bigger yard, as big as your children’s imagination. Move into the suburbs near the really good schools, even if it means a longer commute to work. It’s for your family, and it’s worth it.
Phase Four
Near Empty-Nesters?
So, the kids are in high school or off to college. Before you turn their bedrooms into a gym/study/knitting room/giant storage closet, you should consider this. Start planning those much-needed renovations and get ready to purchase the home that the two of you always wanted. That tree-lined street that leads to your condo on a quaint lake? You know, the one you’ve both dreamed about since your honeymoon? Go for it. Or maybe you want to live in the heart of downtown and have all the necessities within walking distance. I can help make that happen.
