Like A Needle In A Haystack

Hello Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 excellent report for finding the right house.

Good morning Margaret.In depth knowledge of the inventory makes looking for the needle in the haystack much easier. Enjoy your day.

Hi Magaret,
I am one of those people who knows what I like and will know it when I see it. At this point in life, it has become easier to "narrow" my preferences to one-level walk-in living.  My current home meets that need, with upstairs guest quarters. If I were ever to move, it would be to a condo community.

I've found that some real estate agents don't even know what style the house is! haha.

Tiny houses are also becoming popular as well. Great list Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 

This is good information to share with prospective home buyers.

Have a productive autumn.

Margaret this is one of the big reasons why Buyers need to be represented by a knowledgeable experienced Realtor who know how to sift through the hay to find the homes that fit their Buyers needs and wants.

Hi Margaret- I would also add that what a patio home means to buyers in one area of the country can mean something different in another area. Often buyers can't pinpoint what they want until they begin their search, either online or in person. Having them send you photos of what appeals to them is a good starting point. It's like when you want a different hairstyle but have a hard time describing it. You take a picture!

We all have buyers that start out thinking they want one style and when offered alternatives, buy something completely different than their first thoughts. Patience does pay off

Margaret:

The more we can learn from buyers about what they want and need the better we can help them narrow down their search. Often they need help sorting through the features and amenities that are most important to them...and why.

It's amazing how many housing styles there are, and descriptors we see in the MLS can be confusing.

Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400  ... oh this is so true!  Buyers usually don't know what they want and so it is our job to help them figure it out.  I usually start with 1 - 2 - 3 story home ... where (what locations) ... and minimum requirements!  That usually helps me to fine tune their search.  Who knew there were so many choices?  Great post! I learned a few new terms that are not common here in the  mid-west!
