There  is probably a long list of things you need and things you want in your next home.But putting them all on a singlelist would be a mistake.

Why?
Because
buyers
who
separate
what
they
need
from
what
they
want
are
much
more
likely
to
find a
home
that
meets
all
their
requirements.

Forexample,sayyouwantahomethatisclosetoagolfcoursebut
you
need
it
to
be
in a
neighborhood
that
has a
good
local
school.

Or
worse,
you
might
mix
up
your
priorities
and
become
so
excited
by a
house
that’s a

Not
at
all!
By
having
two
separate
lists,
you
can
make
the
best
decision.You
can
make
sure
you
find a
home
that
meets
all
your
requirements
and,
ideally,
one
that
offers
as
many
of
the
“extras”aspossible.
