My house hunting super power ⚡️
Spotting the hidden potential
You’ve seen the shows on HGTV where they buy the ugliest house ever and 30 minutes later it’s straight out of West Elm and you’re like “I think I could do this!”
What happens is, sometimes that potential is hard to spot.
When you’re looking at multiple homes, you start comparing the ones filled with oak cabinets, funky kitchen layouts and overgrown backyards to the ones that are updated and decorated with furniture from Crate & Barrel.
That can make it difficult to favor the ones that need the elbow grease and paint jobs, you know?
But the ones that look like they’re straight out of Instagram might have a higher price tag and cause you to sacrifice some of the features that were initially most important to you.
This is where I come in! I want to help you keep your top priorities in mind when looking at homes and work around what you might not love about a house!
So maybe you find a house in the perfect location. It has a great layout and the yard you’ve dreamed about, but inside you’re already making a list of all the changes you’d have to make.
What we can do is sit down and make a good ol’ pros and cons list of the changes vs the positive features and see what makes most sense.
Maybe just a few simple updates could give the space a makeover that you’d be really happy with.
A fresh coat of white paint, new rugs, swapping out the pendant lights and adding new cabinet hardware in the kitchen could make the space look entirely different and wouldn’t require taking the kitchen down to its studs or starting from scratch!
What is one home feature or design style you could not look past? I want to try and spot the hidden potential.
