Make a list of all the things you want in a home. Be as specific as possible. It will save you time in your search for a new home.

Consider some of the following things:

1.  What do you want on the outside of your home.

• Will it have a yard? If so, what size?
  
• Do you want an established garden or a chance to create your own?
  
• Do you want a garage? Attached? Detached? Two cars or three?

2.  What do you want on the inside of your home.

• How many bedrooms do you need?
  
• How many bathrooms? (Not just for the immediate future, but for those teenage years, as well.)
  
• What about a den or office? A guest room for grandma?
  
• Do you want a basement or an attic?
  
  

Your real estate agent can help you find the perfect home once you determine what is important to you.
