Model Homes: A Trip For Your Senses

How will you ever learn as an agent or as a consumer what is out there in new condominiums and new houses? You could obviously do factual research, but how far will that take you? You could go on the internet and look at sales sites or talk to other new homebuyers or agents, but how far will that really push your knowledge? Maybe you need something tangible.

Maybe what you need is a more hands on experience, a tantalizing sensation for your senses to really get the full experience. You need to see model homes. Being someone looking for the future, down the road I have been spending many a Sunday driving around the city and seeing different models, and wow has it opened my mind.

I now no longer can look at a simple brochure and be excited by it about a development.
I need that new carpet smell, that fresh coat of paint, the staged rooms; all of this gets me excited. I’ve realized that seeing these perfect glimpses into what life could be races my pulse and gets my heart beating fast. Now I know to some this may sound totally overdone or over exemplified, but truthfully it is a fun way to spend a Sunday. Even if you do not plan on purchasing for years to come or ever, these models sometimes can give you the greatest ideas on what to do with your living space. Usually these houses also show you what the community will like as well. In twenty minutes to an hour you can get a real feel for what life would be like.

So for me no more brochures, instead candid walks in model homes where I can really see what I want!
