Buying a home is a big decision that involves thinking about your specific needs and desires. The new home counselors at Hartz Homes are trained to help you through the process so that your new home will satisfy your criteria now and for years to come. For counselors to pinpoint your best options, they’ll want to know as much as possible about your preferences.

In addition to discussing basic parameters (such as square footage and price range), the Hartz Homes counselor will want to hear about your top priorities, in terms of features, location, and lifestyle.

Here are a few of the questions the Hartz Homes counselor may ask. No, it won’t be an interrogation! It will be a thoughtful discussion that will ultimately lead to the perfect home for you.

  1. How long do you imagine living in this home?
  2. Who will be living with you (now and in the foreseeable future)?
  3. Describe your ideal location (e.g., on a quiet street, with a great view, or in a walking neighborhood, etc.). Why is this important to you?
  4. What style home would you like to live in? Do you have a preferred floor plan, architectural style, etc.
  5. What interior features are most important to you? (such as space for entertaining, a home office, high ceilings, hardwood floors, etc.)
  6. In terms of the exterior part of your home, what features are most important? (space for kids to play, privacy, sunny/shady, 3-car garage, etc.)
  7. Is it essential to have convenient access to certain other amenities, such as public transportation, schools, a fitness center, an expressway, etc.?
  8. Describe any need-to-have or need-to-avoid issues. (Non-negotiable requirements that can’t easily be added or modified later.)

Often, open-ended questions like this paint a clearer picture of the home you want to build, as well as raising important considerations that may have been overlooked if you limit your conversations to “basics” like the number of bedrooms and baths.

Envision yourself in your new home and share your story with your Hartz Homes counselor. It will bring you one step closer to turning your dreams into reality!
