The search for your dream home begins in your present home or apartment. It also starts with your experiences growing up in homes of others like family and friends.  By asking yourself key questions about what you like, you'll save time in the house-hunting process.

It never hurts to visit open houses when you are first looking for homes to get a feel for room sizes and how different houses flow.  Open houses give you this opportunity most weekends throughout the year.

One more thing... no home will be perfect.  Even new construction homes custom built will never be perfect because people... practically all of us, find things they would like to do different even on the best of homes.

Below are some questions to ask when finding the right home.

	What style of home do you like - two story, ranch, split-level, or something else?
	What size of home do you need - number of bedrooms, baths, square footage?
	What are your priorities in home features - garage, gourmet kitchen, fireplace, first-floor dining room or other features?
	Does the home have additional space that could be finished such as an attic or basement?  Does the lot size give you room to expand your home or build exterior buildings?
	What natural features outside the home are most significant to you - woods, hills, streams, lakes, others?
	What community features are desired - close to work, close to schools, close to shopping, close to friends or family?
