First Time Dream Owner!

Many of my past clients are probably considered to be first time home buyers, this because they have either rented, bought manufactured housing or just plain moved all over the country.

When searching for homes, many of the folks have a certain mindset that makes them believe that they can’t have the home that they have been dreaming of for years.  It is the belief that this type of home is to retire into or pay exorbitant amounts of money.  Every one of the buyers has a base plan of what they want.  My job as an agent for first time buyers is to show homes that most represent their current dream. Now will this be the home that they spend the rest of their time? Probably not, but that is only because tastes change and visions change.
A dream home is most likely the culmination of several factors;
 
§  Price

§  Area

§  Schools

§  Churches

§  Crime rate

§  Type of home (single level, neighborhood attributes etc.)
There are those buyers that have the forethought to realize they are buying the first of maybe several homes in their lifetime.  But others prefer to live for the moment and the times.  There is give and take with any home, unless you are building a house from ground up, established homes are your choice.
Dream homes are a matter of opinion.  Realtors do their homework to search out the best suited properties to fill the wants of the buyers.  Remember those give and takes are good rules to live with.  The buyer needs to know if they are going to be happy in the choice of houses that you offer for several years.  Remember the “dream Home” is in the eye of the buyer!
