It’s Not Just the House—It’s Everything Around It

Once you walk into a home where every detail meets your standards - from kitchen appliances and flooring choices, to lighting--it can be hard not to fall in love quickly with it all. But don't stop there; be open-minded. Don't settle.

Before becoming too attached, take a step back and assess what's really happening here.

Neighborhood Stories 

That adorable house may feel like the one, but what happens after dark might tell an entirely different tale.
Drive by on Friday or Saturday nights; is the street peaceful or party central? Observe it during morning rush hour, as well as later at night, because its atmosphere can change drastically when the sun goes down.

Asserting That it Is More than Curb Appeal

You are investing more than just in walls and roof when purchasing real estate - it's also in lifestyle. * What are the school ratings like? What's the crime rate like locally? And are your neighbors considerate or loud barkers next door?

An elegant home marred by disorder quickly loses its allure.

Renovation Can Change House--Not Neighborhood

Painting colors, countertops and layout can all be altered over time; however, your location cannot. So while loving the home may be important to you - be sure to love its location too.

Do your homework. Walk the block. Speak with some neighbors. Remember, buying a home involves more than just what lies within its walls--it also requires consideration of its immediate environment.
