House hunting sounds glamorous right up until you dive right into it. We get it, finding that one house that suits your needs can be an emotional ride. Let’s guide you into every aspect of it.

Process 1: The Pinterest Phase

You start with a vision board. White walls. Floor-to-ceiling windows. A walk-in closet. Marble countertops and the list is endless.  Reality: Budget? How do you feel after finally seeing that dream villa and its price? There are only two answers to this..Either you are ready budget wise or not. Both ways, consider the real estate agent you are working with. What are their payment plan options? Process 2: The Site Visits You dress cute, show up with hope, and then…plot twist, it won’t always be as in the pictures shown online. That’s why the site visits are very important so that you get that first hand experience, see the masterpiece in process. This is how you prepare your mind gradually for that dream home. Pro tip: Always ask about important details you wouldn’t overlook in your dream home eg water supply, security status among others.  

Process 3: The Decision Paralysis

You’ve seen 11 houses. You liked 3. Now you’re overthinking like:

• One had a pool, but did not have an open plan kitchen layout.
• The townhouse was nice, but I want a quiet neighbourhood.

In such situations just prioritize what features and factors come first then you can find a way to work around the ones that are already there. Or better yet, work with a real estate agent that offers design and build and interior design services. You get to customize the space according to your taste and needs.  

Process 4: The Paperwork Maze

No one tells you the real hustle is after choosing the house. Site visits were the warm-up. Now it’s time for lawyers, valuations, approvals and negotiating. Never skip this process.  

Process 5: The “We Did It” Moment

When keys hit your palm, the stress fades. Suddenly, what felt like a dream finally kicks in, that you are the newest homeowner in town. Despite all the challenges and fears, you made it. All this is possible once you know what you want and getting a genuine and trustworthy real estate agent to walk you through the process – it’s a journey, but all worth it.   Are you planning to embark on this journey or you already did but are stuck and need help?
