You can buy or make your dream home. I can help.

Buying and listing  strategies to get you home. 

These tips for experiencing a neighborhood are like getting invited into a local’s family home while you’re on vacation. You get a little window into what it feels like to live in a community and what lifestyle you would enjoy should you decide to join the community.

Finding the right neighborhood is so personal.

10 ways you can experience and test drive a neighborhood before you buy a house:

  1. Go grocery shopping
  2. Visit parks
  3. Eat at local restaurants and bars
  4. Test drive the commute
  5. Tour schools
  6. Volunteer
  7. Visit (and work from) coffee shops
  8. Attend a local event
  9. Go for a walk around the neighborhood, bring your dog!
  10. Do all the above at various times of day

This bonus tip is for the overachievers out there. Really want to give a new city a test drive? Rent an AirBnB and live like a local for a week, better yet, a month!
