Gina was planning a move to Fairfax County for her new job. She was excited about the job, plus she was happy to see that there were plenty of options for choosing a great school for her kids.
Gina also wanted to keep her current lifestyle
She was hoping to find a home where she could walk to the park, and have easy access to a bike trail. She also wanted to have shops, restaurants, and the dry-cleaners nearby.
Where is the fun stuff near a home?
Most people when they look for a home, they focus on what’s within its 4 walls:
- How many bedrooms and bathrooms?
- Does it have a spacious and modern kitchen?
- Is the basement finished?
They may also ask about the size of the yard (which is technically outside the 4 walls), but overall, people search for homes based on its physical characteristics.
Only after they go visit each home may they ask questions like:
- Where could I go for a walk around here?, or
- Where are the grocery stores?
- What else is around here?
For Gina, what’s around her home is just as important as the physical characteristics of the home itself. So she wants to start by selecting a location that meets her lifestyle needs, and then choosing the home.
Gina was hoping for a tool that allowed her to find a home that met her lifestyle needs.
TA- DA! Lucky for her, we have such a tool!
