If you want to be in a new home before the holidays, now is the time to start preparing.
When most buyers start looking for a home, they focus on the basics.
How many bedrooms? How many bathrooms? What neighborhood? How much space?
Of course those things matter. But there’s a lot more you need to think about, especially when you’re looking at an older home!
You might walk into a house, love the kitchen, picture your furniture in the living room, and immediately think, “This is the one.”
But what about the condition of the home?
Even beautiful homes can have issues, and older homes can come with repairs, maintenance, and systems that you need to understand.
Hi, I’m Tanja Odzak, Realtor with eXp Realty, helping people sell and buy homes right here in the East Bay for the last 10 years!
That’s why when I work with buyers, I help them think beyond what a home looks like and consider how that home will fit the way they actually want to live.
Are you comfortable taking on projects? If it needs a new foundation, is that a deal breaker?
Do you want something more move-in ready?
How much maintenance are you comfortable with?
These are the conversations I like to have before you fall in love with a house.
Starting early gives you time to learn what to look for, understand your comfort level, and make a more informed decision when the right home comes along. I’m Tanja Odzak and I’ve sold $100 Million Dollars worth of homes and have a decade of experience, If you’re thinking about buying, call me and let’s build your home-buying strategy around the way you actually want to live.
