How Do You Know If That HOUSE Is For You?

One of the greatest challenges, many, potential home buyers, face, is, considering, thoroughly, whether, a specific, HOUSE, is the right one, for them, and truly, identifying, specifically, their personal needs, priorities, etc! As a Real Estate Licensed Salesperson, in the State of New York, for over 15 years, I often, counsel, potential, qualified buyers, to create, specifics, and put them – down, on paper (make a list), with what they want, as well as would hope for. In addition, I ask them, to identify, up – front, what amount of mortgage, they qualify for (get a pre – approval, from a Mortgage Banker, Broker, or other lender), as well as giving themselves, a check – up, from the neck – up, to measure, their personal comfort zone, and how they might handle the economic issues, related to home ownership. With, that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means and represents, and why it matters.

1. Healing, HVAC, Houses of Worship; head/ heart: Begin the process, by considering, both, your logical, as well as emotional components, in a head/ heart balance, so you are, as prepared, both, financially, as well as emotionally, for owning a home, of your home! One’s house must enhance your personal healing, as well as specific factors, such as the effectiveness, and quality of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, systems (HVAC), and, specifically, relevant, personal issues, such as convenience to Houses of Worship, etc, and anything, else, which might matter to an individual!

2. Options; opportunities; opinion; open – mind: Proceed, with an open – mind, throughout, the entire, home – hunting, process! What options do you seek, need, and are most important, to you? Base your personal opinion, on, whether, your finest opportunities, are best – served, by owning a specific house!

3. Uses; unusual/ usual; unique: What is unique, about, what you seek? Consider, the potential uses, as well as the unusual, and usual aspects, which might serve your life!

4. Systems; strengthens; serves: Before you buy, have a professional home – engineer, or inspector, provide, a thorough, professional examination, of the strengths, and weaknesses, of the specific house, and its major, and minor systems. Consider this information, and, whether, this purchase, will serve your best – interests!

5. Energizes; enriches; education: If you are considering, buying, get as much, relevant education, and information, as possible, to ensure, the wisest decision! Everyone is best – served, when they feel, a specific property, energizes, and enriches, them!

The more you know, and understand, prior to buying, and proceeding, in a focused manner, the better, you will be able to determine, if a specific HOUSE, is right, for you! Since, for most people, the value of a house, represents, one of their largest, financial assets, doesn’t it make sense, to do so?
