Good real estate brokers understand that whether it’s a one-room studio apartment or a three-bedroom Cape Cod with a yard, their clients are looking for more than four walls and a door. They’re looking for a place to call home. Model showrooms are designed with that in mind. The interior design and furniture are carefully selected to create a feeling in potential home buyers: “This is where I want to be. This is where I belong.” 

You have recently been to see a model home and are now mulling over whether or not to sign the lease. The tour was unhurried, and you had the chance to ask the questions you had prepared, but there’s one part of the home that you still want to spend a little more time looking over before you can feel comfortable in making your final decision. Which area do you want to examine again? (click a picture to see the result)

The bathroom.

The bedroom.

The dining room/kitchen.

The veranda/garden.

Some Room for Improvement

Some people see their home merely as a shelter from the elements or a place to crash after a long day spent outside. But most attach deeper significance to the place they call home---feelings of safety, comfort, warmth, and love. However one may feel, the image of the home is defined by experiences and memories and gives shape to your dream of a perfect place to be. We've all had the experience of visiting someone's home for the first time and thinking. This is exactly how I imagined it would be. Homes are for the hearts as well as bodies, and they tend to take on the characters of their occupants over time.

How would you describe your ideal home, the home you see yourself most comfortable in? Let's open the door and take a peek inside.

1. After years of hard work and saving, you are considering the purchase of your dream home. When you open the front door to begin the tour, there is a staircase immediately before you. Is it brightly illuminated or dimly lit?
2. The house has not been used for some time. Hallway, toilet, bathtub, dining room - which is most badly in need of cleaning? Which is best kept?
3. As you walk from room to room, you notice the front door is still slightly open, and someone is peeping in through the crack. Who is that person?

The winding river is both a source and a symbol of life. Rivers provide fresh water, transportation, and places to bathe, swim, fish, and relax outdoors, and as a result people have chosen to build their homes near rivers from time immemorial. Of course, there is always the danger of flooding, and the shallows serve as breeding grounds for parasites and hiding places for predators. But humans seem to have found that the benefits associated with natural waterways outweigh the risks, and few riversides today remain unsettled by our kind.
Imagine living in a home located near a river or stream.

Which of the following best describes the property?
 A home on a small island in the middle of a river
 A wide stream flowing past the home with a narrow footbridge across it
 A babbling brook running through one corner of the property
 A home whose property is crisscrossed by a maze of winding streams
