Floorplans - pet peeves and must haves

By
Real Estate Agent with Diamond Partners Inc 00244377

Once you've perused floor-plans and toured dozens of model homes, its time to get picky about the many details of a home. I've started a combined list of options and "deal breakers" my clients have shared with me in the past. I always suggest they make a wish-list when starting out, and to expect that it will be time to strongly consider when a home is at least 80-85% ideal. Because, there's just no such thing as the perfect home, unless you're financially prepared to ignore the affordability factor. 

I have many Realtor friends here who also know the likes and dislikes of buyers or have their own personal preferences. Go ahead and fire away, feel free to leave comments below and add to it. When all is said, we should be able to compare notes and come up with everybody's idea of the perfect home. 


Things that make me go Hmmm! 🤔

Galley kitchen or L shape counter?

Grand entry and location of staircase?

Open concept or more defined spaces?

 

On my list of must haves:

Laundry room off the master closet ❤️

Entrance from garage leading into kitchen, not halfway across the house

Walk-in pantry ❤️

Counterspace (refer back to the first above hmmm!) 

Large master closet

Pet Peeves

Seeing into a bathroom or laundry room from the front entry 😩

Squared off and boxy design 

Dark wood floors

Some home buyers can be very picky.

The balance between needs and wants may be challenging.

Carol I share an interest with much of your list, especially the "Must Haves".

I can see it being a pet peeve’s of not resolve these things ahead of time overall.
