Before the search begins
know the reasons why you’re buying and make sure it’s the right choice. reasons to buy vary. good marketing conditions, a
life change, a desire to invest, a location change, etc. can all affect the path you might take in finding the right property for
you. Your Engel & Völkers advisor can help you look deeper into these factors to facilitate the process. as far as the property
itself, it’s a good idea to know all the features you desire in your new home, from the absolute must-haves to the things you
would like to have, but could live without if a decision had to be made.
