Putting together a wish list is one of the most fun parts of house hunting. It is a great way to dream a little and, more importantly, it is a key tool that allows you to prioritize your needs and your wants. This tool can help your Realtor to better understand exactly what type of house you are looking for. A wish list can also help narrow down what is really important to you and give you an idea of the cost of houses that meet your criteria.
There are plenty of wish list templates available online and you can also create your own. Here are some of the big items that are a must-have on every Home Buyer wish list.
