How You Live
The home you purchase says a lot about your lifestyle. As new home buyers consider their purchase, they also consider how they want to live in the home. If they love to cook, they visualize making a fantastic meal in their new kitchen. If they love to entertain, they may imagine their friends enjoying a cookout on the patio. If their home is their place of solitude, they may see themselves curled up on the couch with a good book and a glass of wine. Your home is a reflection of you and the way you live. What kind of life do you want to live? Listing your top five interests is a good way to start. For instance, my top five interests are: Real Estate, Cooking, Community, Boating and Health. So my ideal home would be one that is near the water with an open kitchen so that I can cook while entertaining my friends and family!
