Off The Mark
I'd love to think that we will find the absolute perfect home for you -- requiring no compromises at all -- perhaps even exceeding your expectations.  And certainly, that is possible.  But it's not necessarily likely.
Most homes that you consider will not be an absolutely perfect fit.  You might wish there were a bit more space in this room, or wish that they had updated that part over there, or wish the yard was a bit larger, or wish that the floor plan was a bit more open on the main level.

As such, we'll likely see multiple versions of "not quite perfect" through the process of exploring potential homes -- along with at least a few "nowhere even close to perfect" options as well.

Your decision as we work through the buying (exploring) process will be to decide how much imperfect you are willing to live with -- and what type(s) of imperfection you will accept.

You might decide to purchase an imperfect house that you can make more perfect later through some renovations.

You might decide to purchase an imperfect house because its imperfections make it more affordable and keep you in your price range.

You might decide to purchase an imperfect because it is the least imperfect one we have seen yet.

This is not intended to be a downer -- "you'll never find the perfect house" -- but rather, an encouragement to think about what versions of "not quite perfect" will be acceptable to you.

You don't have to decide this up front, and it may change through the course of our exploration of homes to purchase.
