If you had to choose

No home is perfect on every front. Tap these in order, starting with what matters most. This is the part that tells a great agent how to help you.

Why sort needs from wants

It is easy to fall for a home over things that do not matter much and miss the ones that do. Naming your true must-haves, your nice-to-haves, and your dealbreakers up front keeps your search focused and gives the people helping you a clear target.
