What type of house do you want?

Next you'll want to define your needs, tastes and preferences for your new home.

By discussing this now, you'll save plenty of time in the house-hunting process.  Your Metro Brokers real estate agent will show you only the houses that fit these requirements.

• Describe the style of house you like, whether it be two-story, contemporary or ranch style.

• List your priorities in home features, such as a two- or three-car garage; gourmet kitchen; a family room or a formal dining room.

• Think about your lifestyle.  If you don't like yard work, ask your sales professional to show you condominiums, townhouses or homes with "zero maintenance" plans.
