How important is prioritize when searching for a home?
I remember it like it was yesterday, It was my first year of college and I had to take a course of time management. Needless to say I barely passed. Why because I failed to prioritized.. Since grade school we have been taught to prioritize but as we get older weather we are really good at it or we really stink. Prioritizing our wants and needs are very important when searching for a Miami home. Lets take a closer look at the 3 most important reason why you should prioritize.
1. Prioritize lets us separate our wants and needs. They can make a huge difference on your ability to make a decision. Lets take a closer look on a list of prioritize from a buyer of mine.
Priorities
a. Location.
b. Size
c. 4 rooms minimum
d. Ateast 2400 sqft
e. Under 270,000
f. 5000 sqft
g. Condition
When you make a list of the most important factors like the list above this will allow you to stay focus on what matters. As you know all properties are not the same even if they are build by the same developer or even if its on the same neighborhood. Keep in mind that priorities might be different for you. Condition, Price, and size might of greater value to you than location who knows. But there is something powerful of writing your priorities when searching for that perfect Miami home.
2. Lost of opportunity.
The lost of opportunity happened more than you think. Contrarily to the media the foreclosure homes don’t last more than 15 days if they are priced right. IF buyer doesn’t submit offer and decide chances are someone else will. The lost of opportunity is very common when you think to much and become paralyzed analyzing to much.
3. Accomplish much more with less the effort.
It is human nature to want to see every home in the market that you can. But keep in mind Miami is a huge area and even if you just narrow your search down to a certain area chances are there’s at least 30 properties available. I would suggest to narrow your search by just Foreclosures and Privately owned properties. But how effective could you be looking at every home? Not to effective… I have worked with buyers that have seen over 45 homes in a span of 30 days. Typically after 15 homes every home starts to look the same and the lost of priorities becomes Real. To avoid losing your priorities is extremely important to screen every home by your priority list before seeing the home. This will allow you to accomplish more with less effort.

I agree with you with the importance of prioritizing in home selection. I’m not sure how you recommend one go through their prioritizing.
I would value your opinion of the use of our new software program, ChoiceAnalyst, scheduled for release June 1st. It is a multi-criteria decision making tool that although very powerful, is extremely easy to use.
One of the examples in the QuickStart Guide explains the value of using it to purchase a house, especially since you can have 2 decision makers go through the analysis (such as a husband and wife) and it will calculate the best choice based on consensus.
The beta copy of the final release candidate is available to download from here:

I would greatly appreciate your comments and feedback as a ‘closing tool’ for a broker to provide to a couple trying to decide amongst several homes that meet the financial parameters.

When searching for a new home we need to have specifications on what we need it’s like buying a notebook. We need to identify what’s more important to us to find the perfect home. Hence, both buyer and real estate agent can save time.
