Buyer Blueprint

What Do You Actually
Want in a Home?

The best home purchase decisions are made before you ever walk through a door. Take 5 minutes to answer honestly — we'll send you a clear Buyer Brief you can reference at every showing, so you're comparing homes to your actual priorities instead of just going on feeling.

Section 01

The Basics

Hard numbers first. These are your filters — homes that don't clear these aren't worth your time.

Minimum bedrooms

Minimum bathrooms

Target price range

Garage

Basement

Areas or neighborhoods you're focused on Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Sunset Hills... whatever applies

Section 02

Hard Stops

Tap anything that would make you walk away from an otherwise good home. Be honest — these save you time.

Busy or high-traffic street No garage or parking Active HOA with restrictions Needs major renovation No yard or tiny lot No dedicated office space Far from good schools Old electrical or plumbing No primary suite No main-floor laundry No eat-in kitchen or dining space

Section 03

Your Life in This House

How you actually live tells us more about what you need than any checklist. Answer these honestly.

Do you work from home?

Do you have kids, or are you planning to?

How often do you entertain? This affects how much kitchen and flow matter

How much work are you willing to take on?

Pets who need outdoor space?

Section 04

The Hard Choices

These are the questions buyers usually only answer under pressure — after losing a bid on the wrong home. Answer them now. Pick one side for each.

"Which would bother you more day-to-day: a kitchen you don't love, or a commute that's 20+ minutes longer?"

or

"More house in a farther location, or less house in a better spot?"

or

"A great primary suite, or an extra bedroom?"

or

"A project home that could save $40–60K, or move-in ready at full price?"

or

"More square footage inside, or more outdoor space and a bigger yard?"

or

Section 05

One Honest Question

This changes everything about how we search. A starter home and a forever home are not the same search.

How long are you planning to stay in this home?
