You will almost certainly have to compromise in some ways when you buy a home.  

When we're walking through a home that is close... but not perfect... I will often encourage you to ask yourself...

Even if it is not perfect, could it work well enough?

Most homes we see will fall into one of three categories...

1.  We will see some homes that are definitely not the house for you. The layout might be off, the location might not work, the finishes or style are too different from what you like, etc.

2.  We might (might!?) see the perfect, perfect house that checks every single box and requires zero no compromises. It happens sometimes, though not very often.

3.  We are likely to see quite a few homes that are really close to your vision but not quite there. And those are the ones that require a bit more thought.

There are a variety of ways you might find yourself potentially compromising...

1.  If everything feels great except some paint colors and flooring, that can change. 

2.  Maybe you would love the house to be a bit larger, but there is unfinished basement space for future expansion. 

3.  You might wish the yard was a bit larger, but if you think about how you typically use your yard, it should be fine.

4.  Or you might wish it was a bit closer to Harrisonburg, but it is not too far and the drive is manageable.

As we walk through each house, we'll want to think and talk through the compromises you would be making if you bought each home, and whether you are comfortable with those compromises.

Even if it is not perfect, could it work well enough?
