In the real estate search for a property whether the buyer is a first time buyer, first generation buyer or a seasoned buyer, there are homes that sparkle and homes that don't shine at all.  Sometimes the best deals are overlooked because buyers focus on the wrong details.  Let me help you learn how to train your eye to look for a hidden gem.

Oftentimes, even a first time home buyer or a first generation home buyer will overlook a property simply because there is too work or updating perceived to be done.  In other-words, they want the house to be "turn key" perfect. The hidden gem could be staring them right in the face with the oddly color painted walls, older carpet covering up beautiful hardwood floors, the perfect working condition older kitchen appliances that are not shiny stainless steel, the immaculately clean outdated tile in the bathroom,  the fully fenced in mature backyard, older windows that are working fine, the new roof and all new mechanicals.

Yes its TRUE! Some buyers will pass on outdated decor knowing the location is perfect and the mechanicals are new and the roof is new and the windows will "need to be replaced."  Maybe they don't to be immediatly replaced.  These hidden gems sometimes hide in very desirable areas and neighborhoods.  Why do some buyers miss them?  Because emotion leads them to chase picture perfect listings and forgetting that location, charm, sunlight, mature landscaping and sometimes architecture cannot be duplicated.

Hidden gems can be found all across the twin cities and western Wisconsin.  Look for real estate value and buy smart.  Luxury can be your perfect upper tier home and it can be your first home with updates needed - it can be your luxury of owning the home in your desired neighborhood.  Luxury can be your perfect sought after floor plan.  Luxury can be your happiness
