How to Find the Features You Want in an Executive Home
Michael Weitzman • August 23, 2015
As a Grand Rapids real estate agent, I can tell you that executive homes come in all sizes, conditions, and locations. You can find a home that was clearly designed or customized for a large family, or for an executive who liked to entertain. On the other hand, you may find a foreclosed luxury home in such poor shape that it needs complete renovation to be restored to its former condition.
When you’re starting your search, you may have certain features in mind that define an executive home for you – a great wine cellar, outdoor entertaining space, a chef’s kitchen, or whatever fits your lifestyle. It can be helpful to keep a few tips in mind to find the home you want:
- Take advantage of online searches . Apart from important criteria like price range and location, make sure your home search includes the ability to search by type of property – a certain lot size, acreage, or a certain type of waterfront features. The Sprich Group’s home search includes those factors, and you can also pinpoint important exterior features that appeal to you. If you want a tennis court, pool/cabana, 3 season room, or 4 stall garage, you can make that a part of your filter.
- Be prepared to customize your home to suit your needs. Modern homes include features like a warming drawer in the kitchen, or a custom glass-walled shower in the master bathroom. Many of these great home features can be added after a home is purchased, so by all means, browse interior design magazines and sites for ideas you can incorporate in your next home. And then work with a Grand Rapids real estate agent who can help you find a home with potential.
- Find a qualified real estate agent. For executive homes in particular, it’s important to have the assistance of an experienced real estate agent. Sometimes there is no substitute for an astute agent to help you zero in on a property that fits your lifestyle, or can be easily modified to fit you to a T.
When you’re ready to find your perfect executive home, give The Sprich Group’s real estate search a try. And by all means, contact me when you need a Grand Rapids real estate agent to help you find the right home.
