Think back to those times when you hated something in your place and said: “when I get a new place I’m going to make sure ___________”
I remember hating my unfinished laundry room in my townhome. It was in the basement which meant I had to lug the laundry up and down the stairs (4 flights). Another thing I didn’t like was having my kitchen/dining area on a separate floor from my family room, especially since I love to entertain. I would hate being separated from my guests while I’d be in the kitchen prepping and cooking, hearing them laugh. Also I have 2 dogs so a bit of outdoor space was a must, and lastly I needed a garage attached to my home, so I wouldn’t have to go out in the winter and clean the snow and ice off of my car; yes, call me spoiled.
Well, it took me about 6 years to find it….Really! But I found it, and I love it. I actually stop myself from complaining now, because I think back to when I complained so much, and I remind myself to appreciate what I have.
So my word of advice is to sit down and make that list, and pass it on to the experts – “us”.
We can and know where they exist and will make sure that you find your perfect home.
