Searching for the perfect home in The Woodlands.  Our new buyers are now ready to start their new home search.  They are now preapproved, so we know exactly what price range they should be looking in.  In The Woodlands, which is located outside of Houston, homes typically sell for about 95-97% of asking price so we are looking in that range.  As their realtor I need to find out as much information as possible about what they are looking for such as size, location, yard maintaince, bedroom locations, style, etc…  After researching all of the home on the market and finding the ones that fit their criteria away we go.

When looking at homes look past the current homeowners tastes and invision your things in the space.  This is very hard to do for many people.  Paint is easily changed.  Furniture will leave with the current homeowners.  Look at the “bones” of the home — the room size, layout, lighting, height of ceilings, yard space — these are the things that matter.  Wallpaper, appliances, fixtures, carpet are all easily changed.
