Find my pathAbout this term
Creating a detailed wish list before beginning a home search helps buyers communicate their needs to their agent and evaluate properties more effectively. The list should be flexible enough to adapt as buyers learn about the local market and what's realistically available at their price point. Wish lists can be updated as priorities change during the buying process.
Pro Tip
Share your wish list with your real estate agent to ensure they understand your priorities.
Example
