With Errol Scott
Unless you are sitting with a homebuilder to design your home to meet the specifications of your personal taste, it is unlikely that you will find a property on the market that delivers on every detail that you have imagined for your new space. The home shopping process requires a bit of visualization and innovation. Having a good eye for the potential in a home can be a solid tool with which your realtor can negotiate and can allow you to use your budget efficiently. Realtors often use the term ‘move in ready’ to describe properties that meet the basic codes for occupation, however, this can describe a wide range of circumstances. As you explore each space ask yourself the following questions:
1) Are the things that you do not like about the space purely aesthetic? Do not be off put by the ‘quick fix’ items. Consider a coat of paint that better suits your style, quick upgrades to baseboards, bath and kitchen fixtures can quickly change the visual of a space.
